2022 Citroen Relay 35 L2H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · FP22 ATV

The Citroen Relay presents a current roadworthy status with a pass recorded on 10 April 2026 at 61,043 miles, yet the DVSA record shows a failed test on the same date and mileage with no defects logged, repeated by an identical fail-pass pair on 2 May 2025 at 51,435 miles. This pattern indicates administrative or process anomalies at the testing station rather than a worsening mechanical trend, and the vehicle's maintenance record reads as stable with no advisories or faults raised across either annual cycle. The van covered roughly 9,608 miles between the May 2025 test and the April 2026 test, averaging near its lifetime rate of 15,261 miles per year for a four-year-old vehicle. That annual accumulation sits high for a 2022 light commercial and implies consistent hard use, though the sparse history with only two test years logged leaves gaps in long-term wear visibility. No minor consumable failures such as tyre tread or wiper blades appear, which suggests the previous keeper addressed basics before each examination. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person given the elevated mileage and the absence of recorded checks between tests. The twin fail-pass entries with zero defects mean the MOT data offers no mechanical red flags, but they also confirm nothing about structural integrity or corrosion away from the test bay. Given the relay's duty cycle, examine the drivetrain for oil leaks and the exhaust emissions system for soot loading at 61,043 miles. The clean record is reassuring, yet the duplicated failures on both dates warrant a call to the test centre to confirm they were clerical, not concealed faults cleared and retested without notation.
