2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LJ18 ACU

The 2018 Citroen Relay demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-08-04 MOT at 19,172 miles. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record across all tests since 2022, with no advisories or failures noted. This suggests the previous owner prioritized regular maintenance, though the absence of recorded defects in a 2024-08-01 test that simultaneously shows a pass and fail entry requires clarification. The lack of mechanical issues in the latest inspection indicates the car is currently compliant and safe for use. The mileage history reveals a low annual average of 2,396 miles, with significant gaps between tests. From 2022-08-04 (7,199 miles) to 2023-08-02 (9,282 miles), the car gained just 2,083 miles over 12 months, followed by a sharp increase of 7,500 miles between 2024-08-01 (11,672 miles) and 2025-08-04 (19,172 miles). This abrupt rise may indicate recent heavy usage, which could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, or the drivetrain. The sparse data prior to 2022 also limits insight into long-term maintenance patterns. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of uneven tyre wear, which could reflect suspension issues exacerbated by low-mileage storage. The sudden mileage jump warrants checking brake system integrity, including caliper binding and disc thickness, as well as exhaust emissions for potential leaks. While the MOT records show no structural corrosion or major faults, the irregular usage pattern suggests a thorough pre-purchase inspection is prudent to confirm the car’s mechanical condition aligns with its recorded history.
