2017 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · OU17 AFK

The Citroen Relay holds a roadworthy status today. The latest DVSA test on 23 June 2025 at 117,027 miles passed with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend stays stable across the documented period, with clean passes from August 2023 onward. An odd blip occurred on 25 August 2022: the tester failed the van at 79,450 miles yet logged no defects. Thirteen days later it passed at 79,471 miles. This points to a procedural rejection, not mechanical decay. Recorded mileage runs high for a 2017 plate, averaging near 13,000 miles annually to reach 117,027. The log shows steady accrual: 79,471 miles in September 2022, 89,945 by August 2023, 102,442 in August 2024, and 117,027 by June 2025. No dramatic gaps or surge appears. Pre-2022 history is absent, leaving early wear unwritten, but the unbroken pass sequence since suggests the keeper addressed consumables promptly. Such discipline implies basic upkeep was not skipped. No recurring advisories flag suspension, brakes, or structure in the official sheet. Still, a buyer must inspect wear-prone items the annual test misses until critical. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue under payload. Assess brake discs and calipers for binding after sustained use. Probe chassis outriggers and sills for corrosion, and confirm exhaust emissions stay within limits. Verify service records cover timing belt and fluid changes, as diesel drivetrain wear escapes MOT scrutiny despite high mileage.
