2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · SF18 GUX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 12, 2026, at 14,645 miles. While the recent result is clean, the maintenance trend shows a sharp decline in pre-test preparation during early 2026. The two consecutive failures in a span of two weeks between late February and early March 2026 indicate a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance, with defects addressed only when forced by the MOT testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old van, averaging only approximately 1,830 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 10,670 miles and March 2025 at 12,675 miles, the vehicle covered just 2,005 miles in a year. The recent cluster of failures occurring just 9 miles apart between February and March 2026 suggests the vehicle may sit stationary for long periods, which can lead to seized seals or the degradation of rubber components despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must inspect the inspection of the specific areas identified in the February 2026 failure. The weakened offside rear seat belt webbing is a significant safety concern that requires immediate replacement as it cannot be safely repaired. Furthermore, multiple headlamp aim failures suggest loose mounting or poor adjustment that should have been rectified prior to the test. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should also check for flat spots on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, which are common issues for vehicles that remain infrequently driven.
