2018 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · WA68 AHO

The Citroen Relay passed its most recent MOT on 6 September 2024 at 86,322 miles, leaving it roughly ten months out of test relative to today. The maintenance trend reads as broadly stable with no recurring mechanical failures, though the last pass carried body damage advisories rather than safety-critical defects. Prior tests from 2021 through 2023 showed only minor consumable wear and a single headlamp-aim failure that was corrected the same day. The mileage record exposes an irregular usage pattern for an eight-year-old van. In the 13 September 2023 test it recorded 113,213 miles, yet by 6 September 2024 the reading had dropped to 86,322 miles. That 26,891-mile reversal points to either a substituted or incorrectly logged odometer between tests, or a replacement cluster, and the buyer should treat the true distance travelled as unverified. Before 2023 the van accumulated normally, rising from 79,372 miles in September 2021 to 100,484 in August 2022. The 2021 failure on 13 September at 79,372 miles flagged offside headlamp aim, thin front brake pads, a loose nearside mirror, and a non-view-obscuring windscreen chip; all were cleared on retest that day. The 2024 pass at 86,322 miles noted an offside front wing damaged enough to foul the driver's door and offside centre panel body damage, implying the van has taken minor impacts with no structural test failure. A buyer should physically confirm the odometer against service stamps and V5C to explain the 2023 to 2024 mileage drop. Inspect the offside front wing and door alignment for corrosion or poor repair, check front brake disc and pad condition given the 2021 thin-pad history, and verify headlamp aim and mirror security remain within tolerance.
