2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LD18 LBY

The Citroen Relay presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 74,118 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes from July 2022 through July 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. The single failure on 16 July 2025 at 74,109 miles is anomalous: DVSA shows no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle failed on administrative or unlogged grounds rather than a mechanical fault, and it passed cleanly the next day. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old 2018 van. The records show 68,409 miles in July 2022, rising to 70,107 by July 2023, 71,920 by July 2024, and 74,118 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 1,200 to 2,200 miles per year, well below the 9,265 annual average implied by the total. The low yearly accumulation suggests extended periods of standing or very light commercial use, though the sparse test cadence of one test per year limits visibility of intermediate wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion points, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the likelihood of moisture ingress during low-use periods. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of binding calipers, exhaust emissions issues, or coil spring fatigue, but the 2025 failure with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align and that no suppressed advisory exists. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Relay to a passable standard without neglect of consumables or major components. The absence of recurring tyre, wiper, or lighting failures across the five tests implies basic upkeep was not skipped. Given the 17 July 2025 pass is under twelve months old relative to today's date, the van enters the market with valid test currency and a reassuringly uneventful mechanical record.
