2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LG18 TPO

The 2018 Citroen Relay demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-06-05 at 100,994 miles with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2025-05-21 at 100,807 miles—also without recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistencies in compliance. The absence of specific issues in the latest test indicates no immediate safety risks, but the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the vehicle’s maintenance consistency. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or exhaust emissions violations were flagged in the history, which is reassuring. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,994 miles over eight years equates to an average of 12,624 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable jumps include 14,363 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, reflecting accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads. The 2023-03-03 test at 77,792 miles and 2022-03-30 test at 65,463 miles show steady progression, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component degradation. This sparse data suggests the owner may have prioritised minimal compliance over proactive maintenance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage and potential for fatigue. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, as frequent use can accelerate deterioration. Corrosion in underbody panels or chassis joints should also be checked, as heavy usage increases exposure to road salt and moisture. While the MOT history lacks specific warnings, the vehicle’s usage pattern implies a higher risk of hidden mechanical stress compared to lower-mileage equivalents.
