2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LA17 AOF

The 2017 Citroen Relay remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-01-18 at 123,160 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with three consecutive passes and one failure in 2024-01-15 at 108,259 miles, though no defects were noted for that test. The vehicle’s consistent annual MOT compliance suggests regular upkeep, though the 2024 failure without recorded issues raises a minor anomaly that could indicate procedural oversight or a transient fault resolved before retesting. The mileage of 123,160 miles over nine years equates to approximately 13,684 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 14,741-mile jump between the 2022-01-08 test (73,442 miles) and 2023-01-06 (93,917 miles), followed by a 14,383-mile increase to 108,300 miles by 2024-01-22. Such rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though the absence of defects in recent tests implies these components were managed. The sparse record lacks detailed fault data, limiting insight into underlying mechanical stress. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or warping, which can occur with excessive use. Corrosion in underbody panels or exhaust components should also be assessed, as these are common issues in older vans. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage pattern suggests potential fatigue in drivetrain and braking systems, warranting a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued reliability.
