2007 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · PE07 TXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 16 September 2022 at 225,930 miles, which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained a functional level of mechanical integrity despite its age. While a failure occurred in September 2021 at 211,808 miles, the owner rectified the issues within six days to secure a subsequent pass, suggesting a proactive approach to addressing immediate MOT failures rather than allowing neglect. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a commercial vehicle of this era, averaging approximately 11,900 miles per annum. Between July 2019 and September 2022, the Citro Relay covered 42,496 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage cycle. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that suggest long periods of inactivity, which often leads to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. However, the total mileage of 225,930 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain and heavy-duty components regardless of the clean nature of the MOT records. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and specifically the suspension mounting points, as high-mileage vans are prone to accelerated corrosion and metal fatigue. Given that the last test was conducted nearly four years ago, the condition of the brake fluid, tyre tread depth, and suspension bushes is critical, as these items are likely nearing the end of their service life. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox that may not have been present during the 2022 certification.
