2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · CF17 KJZ

The Citroën Relay’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-28 at 85,154 miles confirms a consistent roadworthy status, with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests. This pattern suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, compliant maintenance without major recurring issues. The absence of advisories or failures in any category—structural, suspension, brakes, or emissions—implies the tester did not identify any latent problems requiring immediate attention. However, the 2025 test’s proximity to the current date (just eight months old) means some components may have aged further since testing, particularly consumables like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades. The vehicle’s mileage progression of approximately 9,462 miles annually aligns with typical usage for its age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. Each annual test occurred within a narrow window of ±10 days in November, indicating either disciplined servicing or a deliberate scheduling pattern by previous owners. The steady increase from 64,568 miles in 2021 to 85,154 miles in 2025 suggests consistent driving rather than periods of neglect or storage. There are no red flags in the mileage data to suggest accelerated wear on high-mileage components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that fall outside MOT testing, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, and brake calipers for binding or seized pistons. The lack of advisories does not preclude gradual corrosion in wheel arches or sills—common in Relay models—so structural integrity should be checked for rust penetration. Additionally, the absence of emissions-related defects does not guarantee catalytic converter efficiency, so a scan for stored fault codes is advisable. Tyre tread depth and condition warrant immediate verification, as the MOT only tests minimum legal limits.
