2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LB65 OJC

This Citroën Relay has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 2025-11-13 at 235,449 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues during official inspections, though this does not preclude undocumented wear or hidden faults. The most recent test was conducted just six months ago, which is within the standard annual MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle has not been driven to a new test prematurely due to mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage of 235,449 miles over approximately ten years—roughly 23,545 miles annually—is unusually high for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the consistent annual MOT pass dates. There are no gaps in the MOT history, and the mileage increments between tests remain steady, averaging around 8,000 miles per year. While this suggests regular driving rather than prolonged neglect, the elevated mileage implies accelerated wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, and drivetrain joints. The lack of advisories on brake efficiency or suspension condition in any test is notable, but this does not guarantee current functionality. Given the high mileage, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn or cracked bushes, corroded coil springs, and binding calipers—common issues in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes should be assessed for uneven wear, glazed linings, or warped discs, as high mileage can exacerbate heat-related degradation. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, as this can compromise safety and handling. While the MOT record shows no evidence of past failures, these components are the most likely candidates for hidden wear or failure.
