2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LJ64 VDX

The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 recorded a pass at 197,758 miles with no defects noted, indicating that the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at this date. Earlier administrative failures on the same day and the previous year also returned no recorded faults, suggesting the passing status is consistent rather than a recent improvement. Mileage has risen from 187,502 miles on 15 February 2024 to 197,758 miles by January 2026, an increase of roughly 10,256 miles in just under two years. This equates to an average of about 5,100 miles per year, well above the typical 1,500‑2,000 miles per year for a vehicle of this age, and points to relatively heavy use. No large mileage gaps appear in the record, so the accumulation appears steady rather than sporadic. Given the high mileage, a prospective buyer should give particular attention to wear items that are not captured by MOT data. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for leakage, cracking, or excessive play, as prolonged mileage can accelerate fatigue. Examine brake discs and pads for thinning or scoring, and verify that calipers move freely without binding. Check tyre tread depth and uniformity, as uneven wear may hint at alignment issues. Finally, scan the body for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and undercarriage, and listen for any abnormal exhaust emissions that could signal engine wear. A thorough visual and tactile examination of these components will confirm whether the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with the clean MOT history despite its demanding mileage profile.
