2015 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LB15 TFE

The latest MOT test conducted on 14 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. A review of the vehicle history dating back to 2022 reveals a consistently clean record with no failures or advisories listed across five consecutive tests. This indicates a very stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been systematically maintained to a high standard, avoiding the common recurring faults often seen in commercial vehicles of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 115,056 miles over an eleven year period reflects an average annual usage of approximately 10,460 miles. This is considered typical for a Citroen Relay and suggests a balanced duty cycle. Such usage patterns generally avoid the mechanical stress of high-intensity fleet work while also avoiding the degradation associated with prolonged standing. At this mileage, the vehicle is entering a phase where consumables and rubber components will naturally show wear, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests these have been managed effectively. Given the exceptionally clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on physical inspections that fall outside the scope of a standard roadworthiness test. It is essential to inspect the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, specifically around the sills and the load area, as these are known vulnerability points for this model. Examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing or age-related cracking, as tyres can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains legal. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure there are no binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity. The buyer must also verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been performed. Particular attention should be paid to the timing belt and water pump replacement intervals, as these are critical components that must be changed based on age regardless of mileage. Inspect the 12V battery health and check the engine oil and coolant for signs of degradation or emulsification. During the test drive, listen for any clunks from the suspension bushes or vibrations through the steering wheel, which would indicate worn ball joints or wheel bearings that have not yet reached the threshold for an MOT failure but will soon require attention.
