It is possible that some of them were destroyed in accidents. The player's perspective is from that of the Alliance, who have only been exploring the galaxy for a few decades. Who is to say relays weren't destroyed by space debris in the billions of years before the rise of the civilizations of the current cycle? We do know that at least one became incased with ice and another was knocked out of its position by a supernova, so they do seem to be at the mercy of the universe.

I dunno has anyone here know any facts about supernova that isn't just guess work? Can planets survive a supernova? Cause its hard enough finding planets around a non-supernovaed system much less one that has gone though one.

Also the mechanics of a star going nova are different than a looks like 500 metric ton astriod slamming into it than a supernova which is mainly energy.

Also the relays have fields aroud it to prevent the "small stuff" from hitting it.

Not a detected missle going however fast into it,

I got my bachelors in Physics with a specialization in Astrophysics. I know a little bit about their classifications and causes, but I have no idea what kind of damage they could pose to a planet or a Mass Relay, so on that front my guess is as good as anyone elses (so everything I say is mostly speculative).

When a star goes supernova many of the planets orbiting it are destroyed, but in some cases they can be ejected and become rogue planets. Could a relay survive intact? It is possible I suppose, particularly if it was on the outer edge of the star system. But would it be undamaged and still function as designed?

We don't really know where the Mu Relay was in relation to the star that went supernova, but my guess is that it was many light years away and was not orbiting that particular star. Close enough to get its orbit disrupted, but not close enough to suffer any significant damage.

I don't think there are many planet-sized asteroids being accelerated by tonnes of thrusters into Relay. Most things would probably just bounce off the Relay.

And no, Relays aren't just "drifting through space". If they were - people would just pop up in random places all the time. They are usually in orbit around a star.

Asteroids and comets are travelling through space at tens of thousands of miles (or km) per hour.

Relays don't get damaged normally. They don't survive supernova blasts that happen in the same system, but many light years away? Sure, they can be pushed out of orbit; ejected out of their system.

The answer is in the codex. Basically, due to superunobtanium 'Quantum Shielding', Relays don't get damaged. Or even scratched. Then it also has the active defense of being able to shunt large objects down a mass corridor and away.
