2015 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LF15 XDA

The latest DVSA test on 6 May 2025 at 197,445 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle met the roadworthiness standard at that point. Although the April 2025 test was marked FAIL, the absence of any defect entries suggests the failure was resolved before the May test, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening condition. The odometer reading of 197,445 miles on a 2015 model translates to an average annual mileage of roughly 18,000 miles, well above the typical 10,000‑mile benchmark for a vehicle of this age. The interval between the May 2023 test at 182,949 miles and the May 2023 retest at 182,951 miles shows only a two‑mile increase, yet the subsequent jump to 184,677 miles by April 2024 represents an addition of 1,728 miles in just over ten months, and the rise to 197,019 miles by April 2025 adds another 2,342 miles in a year, indicating accelerated usage in recent periods. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the suspension system, looking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any binding rear brakes that could affect stability, while also examining the condition of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. Given the high mileage, inspection of the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the load‑bearing sections, is advisable, as is a check of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion that could compromise emissions compliance. Finally, verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the functionality of all lighting and ancillary systems, as these consumables often reveal neglect despite a clean MOT record, and request any service history that may explain the rapid mileage accumulation.
