2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · K321 ACM

The 2014 Citroen Relay demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT result, which passed on 2025-11-06 at 280,169 miles. However, the preceding test on 2025-11-04 at 280,160 miles recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, raising questions about the accuracy of the assessment. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passing with no defects, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards over the past four years. The lack of recorded faults in recent tests implies no critical mechanical or structural issues, though the failure entry requires clarification. The vehicle’s mileage of 280,169 miles at 12 years old equates to an average of 23,347 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. This rapid accumulation is evident in the jump from 209,631 miles in October 2022 to 230,867 miles by November 2023, followed by a 34,843-mile increase to 265,710 miles by November 2024. Such high annual mileage accelerates wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no defects related to these were noted. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no recurring issues or advisories, indicating the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are prone to fatigue under high-mileage conditions. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high usage can exacerbate these issues. Structural integrity is not flagged in the records, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny for rust in underbody areas. While the MOT data shows no immediate risks, the failure entry and elevated mileage suggest a thorough pre-purchase check is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability.
