2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · TH18 DOG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 9 October 2025 at 194,147 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections after brief re-tests following failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were minor issues or consumable items that were addressed immediately prior to the passing tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging over 24,000 miles per year. A significant surge in usage occurred between June 2024 at 115,288 miles and October 2025 at 194,147 miles, representing an accumulation of 79,000 miles in just sixteen months. This indicates heavy commercial or long-distance use, which places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components compared to a typical lower-mileage vehicle of the same age. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the components most susceptible to such high-mileage wear. Given the rapid accumulation of miles, the suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for premature fatigue or leaking. The brake system requires close scrutiny for signs of thin discs or binding calipers, as high-frequency use often leads to accelerated component degradation. Furthermore, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion, ensuring that the heavy-duty cycle has not compromised the integrity of the frame.
