2020 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LA69 SFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 1, 2026, but the overall maintenance trend reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The tester recorded the vehicle failing just ten miles prior at 112,588 miles due to an offside rear tyre below legal tread limits. While the most recent test showed no defects, the recurring nature of wear-related failures suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical issues when they cause an MOT failure or reach a critical threshold. At 112,598 miles over six years, this Citroen Relay covers a high average of approximately 18,700 miles per year. The data shows intensive usage, particularly between February 2023 and January 2025, where the vehicle clocked over 44,000 miles in just under two years. This rapid accumulation of high-speed mileage puts significant strain on the commercial drivetrain and suspension components. The frequency of use indicates the vehicle was likely used for heavy daily work, which accelerates the degradation of consumables and structural components. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the steering and suspension, as the record noted dampness around the steering rack at 56,958 miles and a distorted offside front road wheel during the same test. These indicators suggest potential alignment issues or stress on the rack from heavy loading. Furthermore, the history of thin front brake pads and multiple tyre failures across 2025 and 2026 confirms that the braking system and rubber assemblies are nearing frequent replacement intervals. The frayed offside front seat belt webbing, which appeared in both 2023 and 2025, should be checked to ensure the material has not deteriorated beyond the point of structural failure.
