2011 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · YR61 ADU

The Citroen Relay presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 248,601 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual test from 17 November 2022 through to the latest examination returning a pass and no advisories raised. A failed entry logged on 9 December 2025 at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation reflects heavy commercial use for a fifteen-year-old van. The odometer advanced from 198,893 miles at the 17 November 2022 test to 230,258 miles by 21 November 2023, then jumped to 248,601 miles for the 18 November 2024 examination. The same 248,601 miles repeats at the December 2025 test, indicating the vehicle covered negligible distance in the past thirteen months. At roughly 16,573 miles per year averaged, drivetrain and suspension components have absorbed substantial load over the lifespan. The clean MOT ledger offers no flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust issues to direct a buyer toward specific defects. Absence of advisories across five consecutive tests implies the presenting condition met minimum standards each time, though high mileage vans of this era commonly hide fatigue not captured in a pass result. A purchaser should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity beneath the body, brake disc thickness, and coil spring condition given the 248,601-mile context. Standing time since late 2024 may have promoted seizing of brake components or tyre degradation unseen by the tester. Verify service history to confirm consumables were replaced outside the MOT cycle.
