2020 Citroen Relay 35 L3H3 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Heavy oil · LC70 PUJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-06 passed without defects, confirming it remains roadworthy at 136,936 miles. The test history shows a stable pattern of compliance, with no recurring advisories or failures over the past three years. The double entry in December 2025—one pass and one fail at nearly identical mileages—appears anomalous and may indicate a temporary administrative error rather than a mechanical issue, as both tests occurred within days of each other. No structural, suspension, or drivetrain faults have been recorded since 2023, suggesting consistent upkeep of critical components. The recorded mileage of 136,936 miles over five years equates to an average of 22,823 miles annually, which is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This rate of usage implies accelerated wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes, as well as potential stress on the drivetrain and engine. The gap between tests—particularly the 20,000-mile span between the 2024 and 2023 MOTs—does not reveal any obvious neglect, but the high mileage per year warrants scrutiny of components typically replaced at this range, such as timing belt (if applicable), differential fluid, and brake caliper seals. Given the lack of recorded defects, the most prudent areas for a buyer to inspect in person are the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. The brakes should be examined closely for binding calipers, uneven disc thickness, or excessive rust, as high mileage increases the likelihood of wear-related issues. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be checked, as failing twice on tread in a shorter history (if applicable) would be a red flag, though none are noted here. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as prolonged exposure to road salt or moisture accelerates structural degradation in vehicles of this age. No advisories in the MOT history suggest deferred maintenance, but visual confirmation of these components is essential.
