2019 Citroen Relay 35 L2H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · FY69 ECV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-17 at 53,076 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass history over the past three annual tests. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories in the official record, though the 2024 test date shows an unusual duplication—one pass at 44,252 miles and a failure at 44,248 miles—suggesting either a minor administrative oversight or a very brief period of non-use between tests. The lack of advisories or repeated faults implies the vehicle has been subjected to regular servicing, though the absence of service records means potential hidden wear cannot be confirmed. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 7,582 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—covering 11,525 miles in just over a year—does not indicate excessive wear, though it could suggest the vehicle was driven more intensively during that period. The most recent MOT, just six months ago, means the vehicle has not yet reached its next test threshold at 58,076 miles, leaving a window of 5,000 miles before the next inspection. This relative recency reduces immediate risk, but buyers should verify whether the vehicle has been driven consistently or stored, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate issues like battery degradation or suspension stiffness. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on braking components , particularly the rear calipers and discs, as the 2024 failure at near-identical mileage hints at a potential marginal issue that was either rectified or overlooked. The absence of advisories does not rule out wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, or steering dampers—common areas for gradual deterioration—so visual checks for uneven tyre wear, excessive play in the steering, or uneven ride height are essential. Corrosion should also be assessed, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as diesel vehicles are prone to underbody rust over seven years. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or excessive smoke, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee no silent failures in the DPF or turbocharger. The vehicle’s age and mileage suggest these areas warrant thorough scrutiny.
