AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The May 2026 MOT at 182,060 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has become stable after a series of earlier failures. Since the 2024 February failure, the record shows successive passes in 2024, 2025 and 2026, indicating that previous issues have been addressed. The vehicle, a 2012 Citroen Relay, has accumulated 182,060 miles over 14 years, averaging 13,004 miles annually, which is high for its age. Mileage jumps are evident: from 96,807 miles in February 2020 to 126,874 miles in July 2021, a rise of 30,067 miles in 17 months; and from 173,214 miles in June 2025 to 182,060 miles in May 2026, an increase of 8,846 miles in eleven months. Earlier periods show less rapid growth, such as the stable 68,932 to 69,792 miles between 2017 tests, but the overall pattern reflects irregular usage with periods of accelerated mileage accumulation. Recurring observations include thin front and rear brake pads, worn or pitted brake discs, excessive play in the front and rear suspension ball joints, and persistent oil leaks that have not been excessive. The 2024 February failure recorded a major exhaust leak at the turbo‑to‑DPF joint, while the 2025 June test noted a near‑side registration plate lamp inoperative. Parking brake efficiency failures in 2024 and a near‑side parking brake inoperative condition in 2024 also point to ongoing brake system concerns. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, verify that the track rod end and suspension arm ball joints move freely without excessive play, and examine the brake discs for scoring or serious weakening. The thickness of all pads and the state of the brake discs should be measured, and the parking brake mechanism tested for full engagement. Visual checks for oil seepage around the engine and transmission, and a thorough inspection of the exhaust system for cracks or leaks at the turbo‑DPF joint, are essential. Finally, functional testing of all lamps, including the registration plate lamp and side repeaters, and verification of the windscreen wiper operation will confirm that the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards.
