2021 Citroen Relay 35 HVY L4H3 ENT Bhdi SS 2.2L Diesel · LC21 EYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 2 June 2026 at 38,201 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional offside front headlight and worn front brake discs. While the vehicle passed immediately after these rectifications, the failure indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they fail a legal inspection rather than monitoring components during service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,640 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 20,481 miles and the June 2025 test at 29,737 miles, the vehicle covered 9,256 miles, followed by another 8,464 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This suggests steady, regular usage which is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and braking components compared to the corrosion and seal issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system in person, as the 2026 failure flagged discs as reaching the limit of their effective thickness. Given the age of the vehicle, the inspector should also check the condition of the brake calipers for seizing and the suspension bushes for uneven wear. The 2025 advisory regarding a nail in the nearside rear tyre suggests basic consumable maintenance may be overlooked, so a thorough check of all tyre tread depths and sidewalls is necessary to ensure no immediate replacement is required.
