2021 Citroen Relay 35 HVY L4H2 ENT Bhdi SS 2.2L Diesel · NL21 AHJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-12 at 129,164 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-07-09 at 129,163 miles resulted in a fail despite identical mileage. This suggests potential administrative or procedural inconsistency, as no defects were noted in either test. The 2024-04-30 tests, also at 97,127 miles, followed a similar pattern—pass then fail with no recorded issues. These results indicate a lack of mechanical or structural faults but raise questions about the reliability of the testing process. Overall, the maintenance trend shows no worsening or improvement, as no defects were flagged across four consecutive tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 129,164 miles at 2026-07-20 equates to approximately 25,833 miles annually, which is high for a 5-year-old vehicle. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent use, increasing wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. Notably, the gap between the 2024-04-30 and 2025-07-12 tests spans 13 months, during which mileage rose by 32,037 miles. Such a jump implies heavy usage, potentially accelerating wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and exhaust system. The absence of defects in all tests is positive, but the high mileage necessitates closer scrutiny of components prone to fatigue. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh conditions. Additionally, the exhaust system’s integrity is critical, given the vehicle’s age and usage. While no structural rust or emissions issues were flagged, the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT records.
