2021 Citroen Relay 35 HVY L4H3 ENT Bhdi SS 2.2L Diesel · LB21 EPC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. A review of the previous tests from 2024 and 2025 shows a consistent pattern of clean passes, indicating a stable maintenance trend. From a regulatory standpoint, the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard of roadworthiness with no recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns noted by the inspectors. The recorded mileage of 4,910 miles over approximately five years is exceptionally low for a commercial vehicle, averaging fewer than 1,000 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine internals and drivetrain, such low usage often indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear to degradation caused by standing, which can affect rubber components and fluid chemistry. Due to the infrequent use, the buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires close scrutiny; check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur when a vehicle is left unmoved for long durations. During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension bushes or steering rack that may have stiffened due to lack of movement. Attention must also be given to the 12V battery health and the state of the vehicle fluids. Engine oil and brake fluid degrade over time through moisture absorption and oxidation, so the service history should be verified to ensure calendar-based intervals were followed rather than relying solely on mileage. Finally, ensure the diesel particulate filter has been properly maintained through occasional longer runs to prevent soot accumulation, and check the chassis for any signs of standing corrosion in areas where moisture may have trapped against the metal.
