2017 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · OV17 ADZ

The 2017 Citroen Relay’s most recent MOT on 2025-01-14 at 53,789 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-01-13 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or minor non-compliances not classified as defects. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 show similar patterns of passing and failing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record overall. However, the lack of detailed fault reporting limits definitive conclusions about mechanical health. The vehicle’s mileage of 53,789 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 5,977 annual miles, below the typical average. A significant jump from 36,326 miles in 2023 to 43,704 in 2024—over 7,378 miles in a year—suggests possible periods of inactivity followed by sudden use, which can stress components like the engine, transmission, and suspension. The 2025 test at 53,789 miles shows no defects, but the low annual mileage raises questions about long-term wear on consumables such as tyres and fluids, which may require closer inspection. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the repeated pass/fail cycles without recorded defects imply minimal critical issues. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these components often degrade over time regardless of MOT results. Structural corrosion, particularly in the chassis or body seams, should also be assessed, as low mileage does not guarantee protection against environmental damage. The absence of exhaust emissions or steering-related advisories is reassuring, but a professional inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
