2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · BX68 ACZ

The 2018 Citroen Relay demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 2025-08-20 at 105,997 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2024-07-23 (99,137 miles) and 2023-08-03 (95,639 miles) also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2022-11-08 at 86,431 miles—listed alongside a passing result for the same date—suggests potential data inconsistency. Despite this, the absence of recurring defects in the last three years implies the vehicle has not developed critical mechanical or structural problems. The mileage of 105,997 miles over eight years equates to approximately 13,250 miles annually, which is above average for its age. This rate accelerates notably between 2022-11-08 (86,431 miles) and 2025-08-20 (105,997 miles), a 19,566-mile increase in 29 months. Such rapid accumulation may expedite wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no advisories or failures in the MOT records suggest these have been addressed. The gap between the 2022-11-08 test and the next valid record in 2023-08-03 raises questions about potential lapses in maintenance, but the subsequent clean results mitigate immediate concerns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting high-mileage components, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, for signs of fatigue or uneven wear. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOT history is positive, but a thorough check of the chassis and underbody for rust is advisable, particularly if the vehicle was exposed to harsh environments. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are critical for compliance and long-term reliability. The vehicle’s clean MOT record in recent years supports its current roadworthiness, but the high mileage warrants cautious evaluation of its mechanical endurance.
