2008 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · BP08 XNF

The vehicle was recorded as failing its most recent MOT on 17 November 2021 at 170,841 miles, with the tester flagging thin rear brake pads, a non‑functioning rear fog lamp, inoperative front side repeaters and slight damage to both front obligatory mirrors. Recurring brake‑pad wear, persistent shock‑absorber oil leakage and repeated lighting faults indicate a maintenance trend that is deteriorating rather than stabilising. Mileage has risen from 81,922 miles in September 2013 to 170,841 miles in November 2021, averaging roughly 10‑12 k miles per year – a typical pattern for a vehicle of this age. No substantial gaps appear in the record; the odometer progression is consistent, suggesting regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity. The steady accumulation of miles aligns with the observed wear on consumables such as tyres and brake components. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the rear braking system, confirming that pads are replaced and discs are free from excessive scoring. The shock absorbers on both front and rear axles must be inspected for oil seepage and damping performance, as repeated misting has been noted across several years. All external lighting – especially the rear fog lamp, side repeaters and headlamp lenses – should be verified for proper operation and clear glazing. Finally, check the parking brake efficiency, mirror integrity, seat‑belt webbing and the exhaust system for any leaks, as these items have featured repeatedly in the MOT history.
