2021 Citroen Relay 35 L2H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LA21 WSD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 27, 2025 at 59,968 miles. This result represents an improving maintenance trend, as the vehicle had failed the test just five miles prior due to poor parking brake efficiency. The fact that the owner addressed the brake failure immediately to achieve a pass with no recorded defects suggests a reactive willingness to rectify safety issues once they are identified by a tester. At approximately 60,000 miles over five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 12,000 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical usage for a commercial van of this age. There is a significant gap of 22,024 miles between the May 2024 test at 37,944 miles and the June 2025 test. While the mileage indicates consistent long-distance use, the high accumulation between tests puts standard strain on wear-related components, which is reflected in the previous failure history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and fluid integrity. The May 2024 failure revealed both rear brake pads below the 1.5mm legal limit and a missing warning wire on the nearside front, followed by a parking brake efficiency failure a year later. This indicates a potential history of uneven wear or neglected adjustment of the handbrake mechanism. Additionally, the record of an oil leak in 2024, described as not excessive, warrants a close inspection of the engine seals and sump to ensure the leak has not developed into a more significant fault. The history also shows past lapses in basic lighting and tyre safety, specifically regarding misaligned headlamps and a severely cut tyre sidewall in 2024. While these are consumable issues, the buyer must verify that the current tyres are free of structural cords and that the headlamps are correctly aimed to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. The lack of structural corrosion advisories in the records suggests the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
