2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · CK14 AEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 at 389,922 miles recorded a pass, but the preceding test on 2025-08-05 at 389,873 miles revealed two defects: incorrect offside front headlamp aim and excessive wear in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. These issues suggest intermittent maintenance, with the suspension component showing no signs of resolution. The lack of further recorded tests beyond August 2025 raises concerns, as the current date of 2026-07-16 indicates the vehicle has not been retested for over a year, potentially compromising its roadworthiness. The vehicle’s mileage of 389,922 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 32,494 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. This rapid accumulation increases wear on critical systems, including brakes, suspension, and drivetrain components. Notably, the 2023-10-18 tests—both passed and failed—highlight recurring issues with headlamp alignment and windscreen damage, which may reflect inconsistent upkeep. The absence of detailed records between 2022 and 2023 further limits insight into maintenance patterns, though the frequency of minor defects implies ongoing attention to basic servicing. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the offside front suspension arm ball joint for continued wear, as its excessive degradation in 2025-08-05 remains unaddressed. The headlamp aim and windscreen damage, documented multiple times, indicate potential neglect of exterior components. Given the high mileage, scrutiny of brake discs, suspension bushes, and corrosion in underbody areas is essential. The vehicle’s age and usage suggest accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, which may require immediate replacement. Structural integrity appears unremarkable in the records, but the lack of recent MOT data necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
