2021 Citroen Relay 40HVY L4H2 Eprse Bhdi SS 2.2L Diesel · FJ21 EFH

This Citroën Relay has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across four consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between June 2022 and June 2025. The most recent test, on 9 June 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now over a year past its due date. The absence of any recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular servicing or at least has not developed any major mechanical failures that would warrant MOT failure. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage progression indicates unusually high annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 34,572 miles per year over the past five years. This suggests either intensive commercial use or consistent long-distance driving, which accelerates wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems. Notably, the mileage jumps from 57,448 miles in June 2022 to 87,326 miles in June 2023—a 29,878-mile increase in a year—before continuing at a similarly aggressive rate. While the MOT history shows no failures, such mileage accumulation raises concerns about the longevity of high-stress parts, particularly if maintenance records beyond MOTs are unavailable. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, for signs of excessive wear or corrosion. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be examined for binding or uneven wear, as high mileage can accelerate friction material degradation. Structural integrity is another critical area; the chassis, sills, and wheel arches should be checked for corrosion, especially in areas prone to salt damage. While the MOT record provides no red flags, these components are most likely to exhibit wear beyond what a test can detect. Additionally, the drivetrain, including the differential and transfer case (where applicable), warrants scrutiny for fluid leaks or unusual noise, given the vehicle’s commercial-grade powertrain.
