2008 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · WU08 KHF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in January 2026 at 100,360 miles. This represents a clear trend of improvement compared to a period of significant neglect in early 2024. While the vehicle previously suffered from multiple failures related to mechanical and structural wear, the most recent inspection indicates that all previously flagged defects have been rectified. The transition to a clean record suggests the current owner is addressing the critical safety and environmental issues that were present during the previous testing cycles. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 100,360 miles reflects an average of approximately 5,576 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial-duty cycles, but it introduces risks associated with long periods. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 4,770 miles, showing a consistent but low annual mileage pattern. The gap between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests saw only 3,032 miles driven, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid despite the low mileage. A buyer must verify the repairs made to the suspension and drivetrain following the January 2024 failure. The tester previously identified fractured rear leaf springs on both sides and excessively worn lower suspension arm bushes. While these passed in subsequent tests, a physical inspection should check for remaining signs of stress fractures or uneven wear on the suspension geometry. The nearside rear wheel bearing, noted as noisy in February 2024, should be tested for play or noise to ensure replacement was effective. The history also notes a non-excessive oil leak and a split CV boot from early 2024. These areas should be inspected to ensure the leak has not worsened and the CV joint remains intact without grease leakage. Given that the front tyres were near the legal limit in early 2025, the current tread depth should be measured to ensure they have been replaced or maintained accordingly. The overall clean MOT record is a positive sign, but the age of the vehicle requires a close look at structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points which are not always fully captured in standard MOT inspections.
