2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · LK67 AHA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-26 at 4,592 miles confirmed roadworthiness with no defects. Previous tests from 2025 and 2024 also passed, though a 2024 failure at 2,976 miles recorded no specific defects. This inconsistency suggests either an unresolved issue or a technical error in the test outcome. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in later tests implies a stable maintenance trend, but the unexplained failure raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability. The recorded mileage of 4,592 miles over eight years equates to an average of 574 miles annually, significantly below typical usage. This low mileage may indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion, seized components, or degraded rubber parts. Notably, the 2024 test at 2,976 miles occurred just weeks after the 2023 test at 2,777 miles, suggesting minimal usage during that period. The sparse defect history does not confirm poor maintenance but highlights the need for careful inspection of systems prone to deterioration when unused. A buyer should prioritise checking for rust, particularly in the chassis and underbody, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant conditions. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, may require scrutiny for fatigue or corrosion. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be tested for binding or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to uneven friction. The unexplained 2024 failure underscores the importance of a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT records.
