2023 Citroen Relay 35HVYL4H2EPRSE ED Bhdiss 2.2L Diesel · LA23 JVD

The vehicle currently holds an unroadworthy status following a failure during the MOT test on 20 April 2026 at 66,529 miles. Because the record shows no specific defects listed for this failure, the result indicates a critical mechanical or safety-related issue that prevented the vehicle from passing the inspection entirely. The maintenance trend is currently stalled, as the vehicle has failed to secure a valid certificate despite the recent test date relative to the current day. At 66,529 miles in just three years, this Citroen Relay has covered an average of approximately 22,176 miles per annum. This high annual mileage is consistent with heavy commercial use, which accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components and drivetrain elements. The gap between the vehicle's age and its current mileage suggests the van has been in constant operation, placing significant stress on the suspension assembly, braking system, and exhaust heat shielding. A physical inspection must prioritise identifying the cause of the April 2026 failure. Given the high mileage, a buyer should scrutinise the suspension geometry for perished bushes and check the coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion. The braking system requires a thorough check for binding calipers or thin brake discs, as heavy-duty cycles often exhaust consumables prematurely. Additionally, examining the chassis for structural integrity and mounting wear is essential to ensure the high-mileage has not compromised the frame's stability.
