2005 Citroen Relay 2.0L Diesel · YL05 PBY

The most recent MOT on 5 January 2024 recorded a failure at 113,392 miles, yet the test report listed no specific defects. Earlier examinations in 2023 and 2021 both passed, indicating that the vehicle has generally met the statutory requirements when tested. The pattern suggests a stable maintenance record, with the recent failure likely reflecting an administrative lapse rather than a deterioration of core components. Mileage has accumulated to 113,392 miles over 21 years, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per annum. The jump from 101,187 miles in November 2021 to 102,768 miles by January 2023 reflects a modest increase of 1,581 miles in just over a year, followed by a further rise of 10,624 miles to the latest reading. This low‑to‑moderate usage aligns with the vehicle’s age and does not raise immediate concerns about accelerated wear, though the relatively sparse testing intervals leave limited data on intermediate mileage growth. A prospective buyer should verify that the absence of recorded faults truly reflects the vehicle’s condition. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, ensure brake discs and pads show even wear without binding calipers, and examine the chassis for any corrosion that could compromise structural integrity. Confirm that tyres retain adequate tread depth and that the exhaust system is free of leaks, as these items are not captured in the MOT record but are critical to safe operation.
