2012 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LD62 AEF

The 2012 Citroen Relay presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-15 at 38,545 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The prior tests from 2024-10-16 (33,599 miles) and 2023-10-25 (29,220 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the duplicate entry for 2024-10-16 showing both a pass and fail is anomalous and warrants verification, as it may reflect administrative error or unrecorded repairs. No structural or mechanical failures were flagged in the valid tests, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. The recorded mileage of 38,545 miles for a 14-year-old vehicle equates to approximately 2,753 miles annually, significantly lower than average usage. This suggests the car may have been stored for extended periods, increasing risks of corrosion, rubber component degradation, and fluid stagnation. The gap between the 2023-10-25 test (29,220 miles) and 2024-10-16 test (33,599 miles) shows a 4,379-mile increase over 12 months, which is moderate but could indicate sporadic use. The absence of defects in all valid tests implies no urgent mechanical concerns, though the low mileage pattern requires scrutiny for hidden wear. A buyer should inspect the chassis and underbody for rust, particularly around the frame rails and suspension mounts, given the vehicle’s age and low usage. Check for dry rot in tyres, hoses, and belts, as well as brake system functionality, including caliper movement and disc thickness. The absence of advisories in the MOT records does not preclude minor issues like worn suspension bushes or minor corrosion, which may not trigger a fail but could affect long-term reliability. Confirm the vehicle’s service history to verify if it has been regularly driven and maintained despite the low mileage.
