2007 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · FG57 XEU

The most recent MOT entry for this 2007 Citroen Relay dates to 3 November 2021 at 139,351 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. However, the same date and mileage also show a failure with no defects listed, a contradictory DVSA entry that prevents a clean roadworthiness verdict. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving because no tests exist after November 2021, leaving the vehicle untested for over four and a half years as of July 2026. The odometer stood at 139,351 miles across both 2021 tests, equating to roughly 7,334 miles per year since registration, a typical figure for a 19-year-old light commercial. The record shows no earlier entries, so we cannot track accumulation or gaps before 2021. The identical mileage on the pass and fail suggests the tester corrected a procedural error on the same day rather than road use between tests. A buyer must treat this van as unroadworthy until a fresh test proves otherwise. The four-and-a-half-year MOT gap raises strong risk of perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, corroded structural members, and degraded suspension bushes from prolonged standing. The 2021 failure with zero recorded defects points to a possible administrative or emissions-related rejection now impossible to verify from the data. Inspect the full chassis for rust, check brake discs and pads for binding or pitting, and verify exhaust emissions on a cold start. Given the age and dormancy, assume all consumables and fluids are due regardless of the clean 2021 pass.
