2023 Citroen Relay 35 HVY L4H2 ENT Bhdi SS 2.2L Diesel · CF72 EJV

The vehicle's most recent MOT history shows a successful pass on 30 March 2026 at 129,942 miles, following an immediate failure on the same date. This indicates that the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the initial failure suggests a minor defect was identified and rectified during the testing process. The maintenance trend appears stable given the lack of recorded advisories or recurring failures in the recent documentation. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a three-year-old vehicle. Reaching 129,942 miles by mid-2026 suggests an average annual usage of approximately 43,314 miles. This level of heavy commercial use places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems. While the MOT record itself is clean of advisories, the high mileage indicates this vehicle has likely been used for intensive long-distance or high-frequency transit work. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for signs of heavy corrosion or structural fatigue. Given the high mileage, close attention must be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which are prone to premature wear in high-utilization vans. The brake system, specifically the discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding that might not have been captured in a standard MOT test. Drivetrain components should also be scrutinised. The high annual mileage increases the likelihood of wear in the clutch, flywheel, and turbocharger assembly. While the MOT record provides a baseline for legality, it does not account for the mechanical fatigue associated with such rapid mileage accumulation. A comprehensive service history check is essential to ensure that the heavy usage has been met with consistent preventative maintenance.
