2015 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · FD65 ADO

The 2015 Citroen Relay demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-10-31 MOT at 58,253 miles. The prior three tests from 2024 to 2022 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2023-10-17 at 45,498 miles was recorded but listed as no defects, suggesting either a minor procedural error or an unresolved minor fault. The absence of recurring mechanical failures over seven years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the low mileage of 5,296 annual miles raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 41,140 miles in 2022, 45,500 in 2023, and 50,295 in 2024, aligning with the vehicle’s age. However, the 11-month gap between the 2022-11-04 test (41,140 miles) and 2023-10-17 (45,500 miles) suggests periods of inactivity, which could contribute to component stiffness or corrosion. The lack of advisories or defects in subsequent tests implies no significant deterioration from prolonged standing, but the low mileage may mask wear on consumables like suspension bushes or brake discs. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, as these can degrade without regular use. Check for corrosion around the chassis and exhaust system, particularly if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. The brake calipers and discs should be examined for binding or uneven wear, as low mileage can lead to seized components. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden faults, especially in areas prone to rust or mechanical stiffness.
