2023 Citroen Relay 35HVYL4H2EPRSE ED Bhdiss 2.2L Diesel · LC23 DLM

A spotless MOT history across the two most recent annual tests underscores that, as of the 7 October 2025 inspection, the vehicle was recorded as passing without any advisory or failure, suggesting no defects were identified by the DVSA during that period. The continuity of clean results from the 11 October 2024 test further reinforces a pattern of recorded roadworthiness with no emerging issues noted in the official data. With 32,561 miles logged on a three‑year‑old chassis, the average annual accumulation sits around 10,850 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a light‑commercial van of this age. The annual testing cadence shows no gaps, indicating the mileage has been accrued at a steady rate rather than through periods of prolonged inactivity that could conceal hidden wear. Mechanically, this mileage level places consumables such as brake pads, tyre tread and clutch components into the mid‑life range, where normal degradation should be expected but not yet indicative of imminent failure. Although the MOT record contains no specific defects, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should still focus on the areas most likely to develop wear on a vehicle with this mileage. On a test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could hint at worn suspension bushes or deteriorating coil springs, and feel for any steering pull or vibration that might signal alignment or tyre imbalance. Apply the brakes firmly to assess pedal travel and pedal feel; any judder, sponginess or unusual noise may point to pad wear or disc surface irregularities. Verify that all exterior lights illuminate correctly and that the exhaust system is free of excessive smoke or rattles, as these are not captured by the MOT but are critical to roadworthiness. Looking ahead, the next MOT will be due by October 2026, giving roughly twelve months of further operation before the next statutory check. Prior to that date, arranging a comprehensive service that includes brake pad and disc inspection, tyre depth measurement, suspension component lubrication, and a visual check for any emerging corrosion on the chassis or underbody will help ensure the vehicle remains within the clean MOT profile it has so far demonstrated.
