2009 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LC59 BSV

The 2026-06-18 date marks a significant lapse in MOT history, placing the vehicle in a precarious position for safety assessment. The most recent test on 2024-12-10 was passed at 157,043 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle's age, suggesting that no major catastrophic failure occurred in the last few years. However, the gap between the 2023-12-15 and 2024-12-10 tests is substantial, and the subsequent 2023-12-05 failure indicates that the vehicle has suffered a serious mechanical issue or maintenance gap since the 2023-12-10 test. This pattern suggests a lack of consistent upkeep, where the vehicle likely experienced a period of inactivity or neglect leading to accumulated wear. The mileage trend shows rapid accumulation, particularly in the 2023-12-05 test where the vehicle failed at 154,707 miles. This represents a significant increase in distance since the 2024-12-10 test, indicating that the vehicle has been driven for approximately 15,000 miles in the last year. While the initial 2024 test showed acceptable tire wear, the subsequent failure at 154,707 miles suggests that the vehicle has experienced severe wear on critical components such as suspension bushings, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, which would require immediate attention. The data points to a trend of worsening condition, as the vehicle has failed multiple times without a complete repair or replacement of major parts. Given the recurring structural and mechanical faults, such as the corrosion of the rear outer integral body, the oil leaks, and the failure of the windscreen wiper, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify and remove these risks. The buyer must evaluate the suspension for binding, the brakes for binding, and the exhaust system for emissions, as these components are likely to fail in the near future. Additionally, the buyer should check the structural integrity of the rear and front bodies, the condition of the oil, and the operation of the wiper and fog lamps. A thorough inspection is required to determine if the vehicle can continue to operate safely or if it requires an immediate MOT retest or a major repair to prevent an accident.
