2010 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · M5 LDU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a clear deterioration trend in suspension components. The most recent test on 2025-08-13 at 31,334 miles was passed, yet the subsequent tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 have all failed, culminating in a failure on 2022-07-27 at 24,243 miles. This sequence demonstrates that the suspension system is not only failing but is becoming increasingly unstable over time, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped and the chassis has experienced progressive structural degradation. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has maintained a very low mileage record of 31,334 miles over 16 years, which is significantly lower than typical for a 2010 model. While this low number reflects potential lighter use or long standing, it raises the possibility of rapid mileage accumulation that could expose hidden wear in the drivetrain or drivetrain components. The absence of any gaps between the tests suggests that the vehicle has been driven continuously, which may contribute to the rapid wear on the suspension bushings and coil springs that were previously noted as a primary failure mode. Given the recurring failure of the suspension and the lack of any recorded structural issues, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, binding front brakes, and excessive play in the suspension bushings. A professional inspection is required to verify whether the braking system has developed corrosion or if the suspension has reached its limit of service, as these components are the most likely to fail in an older vehicle with this specific MOT pattern.
