2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · DY14 WLR

The 2014 Citroen Relay currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 2025-11-20 at 153,397 miles. However, this pass was conditional, with several advisories noted, indicating that while the vehicle is roadworthy, it requires attention to several areas. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, as evidenced by the increasing number of advisories and a previous failure in 2024. The vehicle's mileage pattern shows high annual mileage, with approximately 12,783 miles per year accumulated over its 12-year lifespan. A notable gap exists between 2023-11-13 (127,134 miles) and 2024-12-04 (141,066 miles), where 13,932 miles were covered in roughly a year. Another significant accumulation occurred between 2024-12-05 (141,066 miles) and 2025-11-20 (153,397 miles), with 12,331 miles covered in about 11 months. This high mileage, especially in recent years, likely contributes to the wear observed on various components. A thorough inspection is recommended to assess the condition of the braking system, which has shown signs of wear, including thin brake pads and a binding condition. The suspension also shows signs of wear, with several bushings and shock absorbers flagged in various tests. Additionally, tyre wear is a recurring issue, with multiple tests noting tyres worn close to the legal limit. The offside front inner drive shaft joint constant velocity boot was also noted to be severely deteriorated in the most recent test. The buyer should also verify the effectiveness of the parking brake, given its failure in 2024, and inspect for any signs of structural rust or damage, although none were explicitly mentioned in the records. Overall, while the vehicle remains roadworthy, these recurring faults suggest that it requires maintenance to ensure continued safe operation.
