2007 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · FG57 VEF

The Citroen Relay shows a stable roadworthiness trend in its most recent test, passing without defect at 248,601 miles on 1 September 2023. Prior to that, the vehicle recorded two failed tests in early 2022 yet no defects were listed against either failure, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. The latest clean pass suggests the van currently sits in a roadworthy state, though the sparse record limits deeper diagnostic confidence. The mileage data is striking for its absolute flatness. Every entry from the 1 February 2022 failure through to the September 2023 pass records exactly 248,601 miles, with no accumulation across nineteen months of testing. Over a nineteen-year life this equates to roughly 13,084 miles per year, but the frozen odometer across all four tests implies the van was either laid up unused or the reading was never updated between visits. A buyer should treat the static figure as a red flag for potential odometer irregularity or prolonged inactivity. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT file offers no evidence of worsening mechanical condition. The two 2022 failures with zero defects logged remain unexplained by the data and warrant direct enquiry with the seller as to the cause. In person, the buyer should verify the true mileage via service receipts and V5C history, inspect for standing-water corrosion to chassis and sills from possible long-term storage, and confirm the braking system and tyre condition match a vehicle showing no recent wear. The clean record provides no grounds for alarm but equally no proof of routine consumable replacement at this high total distance.
