2008 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · LP08 MWG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT conducted in March 2022 at 183,319 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle was in a sound mechanical state at that time. However, because over four years have elapsed since this official inspection, the current roadworthiness status remains unverified and the risk of undetected degradation in critical components has increased significantly since the last recorded DVSA test. The recorded mileage of 183,319 miles over 18 years reflects an average annual use of approximately 10,184 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent period of activity between 2019 and 2022, where the vehicle covered nearly 24,000 miles in just three years. The lack of entries following the early 2022 test suggests the vehicle has either been used infrequently or has sat stationary for an extended period, which can lead to issues with perished rubber components, seized calipers, and fluid degradation. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and undercarriage, as the lack of recent data masks any development of advanced corrosion or chassis rust common in 2008 era Relay models. Specifically, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of heavy wear consistent with the high mileage. Given the time elapsed since the last pass, the braking system should also be tested for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs to ensure that no mechanical failures have developed during the period of inactivity since the 2022 certification.
