2012 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · PO12 KFA

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 31 March 2026 at 186,187 miles which passed with no defects recorded. This follows a trend of clean passes across the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle is maintained to a standard that prevents immediate failure. The absence of advisories or failures in the record indicates that the previous owners have addressed potential issues before they reached critical inspection thresholds. The mileage profile reflects a high-use pattern, averaging approximately 13,300 miles per year over its fourteen-year life. A significant surge in usage is visible between April 2025 and March 2026, where the vehicle covered 22,385 miles in just eleven months. This contrasts sharply with the period between April 2022 and April 2023, which saw only 490 miles recorded. Such recent high-intensity suggests the van is currently under heavy commercial application, which puts considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. Given the high mileage and the age of the Citroen Relay, an in-person inspection must focus on structural integrity and components prone to fatigue under heavy loads. While the MOT record is clean, the buyer should check the chassis for corrosion, particularly around mounting points where rust often accumulates. The inspector should also look for wear on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers, as the recent high mileage accelerates the degradation of these parts. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs is also essential to ensure the high-mile operation has not compromised stopping performance.
