2005 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · SH55 ABZ

The 2005 Citroen Relay’s recent MOT history shows a pattern of inconsistent testing outcomes without recorded defects. The most recent test on 2025-06-30 resulted in a failure, yet no specific issues were documented. This contrasts with the 2024-05-17 test, which included both a pass and a fail on the same day at 148,979 miles, suggesting potential administrative errors or repeated testing for the same issue. The 2023-05-15 pass and 2023-05-02 fail at 148,116 and 148,083 miles, respectively, further indicate a lack of clear mechanical trends. Overall, the maintenance record lacks actionable data to confirm stability, worsening, or improvement in the vehicle’s condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 149,776 miles over 21 years equates to approximately 7,132 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, with tests spaced roughly 12 months apart. The absence of defects in all recorded tests implies no immediate structural or mechanical failures, though the repeated failures without explanations raise questions about the reliability of the MOT process. This pattern suggests either minimal wear or unrecorded issues, leaving the vehicle’sTrue condition ambiguous. A buyer should prioritize in-person inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are common failure points in older vans. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, particularly given the repeated MOT failures. Checking for corrosion, especially in the chassis and underbody, is critical, as well as assessing brake disc thickness and caliper function. The absence of tyre-related issues in the record is notable, but a physical check of tread depth and condition remains advisable. Without further data, the vehicle’s roadworthiness hinges on a thorough mechanical examination.
