2008 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · MW08 ABF

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 11 December 2024 at 153,189 miles, indicating a satisfactory overall roadworthiness status. However, the maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with several recurring faults and increasing corrosion noted across the record. The recent test highlighted corroded brake pipes, worn brake discs, and corroded vehicle structure, alongside minor issues such as a defective windscreen wiper blade. The recorded mileage of 153,189 miles, accumulated over approximately 18 years, is roughly typical for a vehicle of this age. However, the mileage pattern does show some notable gaps and rapid accumulation. For instance, there is a 2-year gap between the 2020 and 2022 tests, with no recorded mileage. Conversely, the vehicle accumulated 23,099 miles in the 18 months between the 2018 and 2020 tests. This uneven mileage accumulation may indicate varying usage patterns or periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brakes, suspension, and structural integrity in person. The recurring faults and corrosion noted in the record suggest that the vehicle may require more frequent maintenance than average. The binding rear brakes flagged in the 2024 test, alongside the corroded brake pipes and worn brake discs, indicate a need for careful inspection of the brake system. Additionally, the nearside CV boot has been insecure on multiple occasions, highlighting potential issues with the suspension and steering components. Furthermore, the corroded vehicle structure, although not significantly reducing structural rigidity, should be assessed for any signs of further deterioration.
