2020 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · EE17 JEN

The 2020 Citroen Relay presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, though its most recent MOT test on 30 June 2025 at 65,839 miles is now just over a year old relative to the current date. That test resulted in a completely clean pass with zero defects recorded, and the vehicle has demonstrated consistent mechanical integrity across its recent history, passing its 2024 and 2023 tests without any advisories or failures. A minor anomaly exists in the 2023 record showing both a fail and a pass on 11 April 2023 at 59,297 miles, both listing no defects, which likely indicates a same-day retest following a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall, the trajectory indicates a well-maintained vehicle free of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a commercial van of this age, averaging roughly 10,973 miles annually. Between the July 2024 test at 62,399 miles and the June 2025 test at 65,839 miles, the van covered 3,440 miles, reflecting steady, regular use. The gap between the April 2023 test and the July 2024 test accounts for 3,102 miles over a fifteen-month period, suggesting slightly lighter use or a longer-than-average interval between tests. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would indicate long periods of standing or severe misuse. Despite the flawless MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the typical wear points of a panel van. Buyers should physically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as commercial vehicles frequently carrying heavy loads often suffer premature wear that may not trigger an MOT failure until severe. Brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for corrosion and binding, particularly if the van has spent time stationary. The structural integrity of the chassis and load floor demands a thorough check for corrosion or cracking, common issues in older diesel vans. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as uneven wear could indicate misalignment or neglected suspension components.
