2020 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LD20 DVL

The most recent MOT test conducted on 31 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, and this follows two previous clean passes in 2024 and 2023. This consistent history indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all essential safety and environmental regulatory standards. The absence of any advisories or failures over the last three years is a strong indicator of a well-maintained vehicle that has not suffered from systemic mechanical neglect or recurring structural issues. The recorded mileage of 65,512 miles against a six-year age profile equates to an annual usage of approximately 10,919 miles. This is considered typical for a commercial vehicle and suggests a balanced usage pattern that avoids the extremes of heavy-duty high-mileage wear or the detrimental effects of long-term stationary periods. Mechanically, this moderate mileage means that while the drivetrain and major engine components are likely to be in a healthy state, the vehicle is approaching a lifecycle stage where consumable components such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and exhaust components will begin to show more significant wear. Because the MOT history is clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that may not yet have triggered an MOT failure. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, particularly if the vehicle has spent time parked outdoors, as rubber can degrade over time regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting and listen for any signs of binding calipers or uneven braking during your test drive. It is also vital to verify the service book to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as fluid changes and belt replacements, has been carried out according to the manufacturer's intervals rather than just by mileage. Finally, pay attention to the condition of the 12V battery and the integrity of the various rubber hoses and belts under the bonnet, looking for signs of hardening or oil contamination. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension, which could indicate worn shock absorbers or failing coil springs, and check for any vibration through the steering wheel that might suggest wheel imbalance or worn steering linkages. Ensuring the vehicle's electrical systems and lighting are fully operational is also recommended, as these are common areas for minor faults to emerge in vehicles of this age.
