2021 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LD21 TWN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-29—just over a year ago—shows a clean pass with no defects recorded, though the record curiously lists both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, which suggests either an administrative error or a rare dual-test scenario. The absence of advisories or repeated failures in the last cycle indicates no immediate structural or mechanical concerns were detected at that point. However, the lack of intermediate tests between 2024-03-18 and 2025-05-29 means there’s no visibility into how components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers may have degraded over roughly 9,000 miles of use. The stability of the record does not imply neglect, but it also does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond the MOT threshold. The recorded mileage of 39,993 miles at the last test suggests a consistent annual average of around 8,000 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no obvious gaps or spikes in usage, though the absence of a test between 2024-03-18 (30,634 miles) and 2025-05-29 (39,993 miles) means no intermediate checks were performed. This period aligns with standard MOT intervals, so no red flags emerge from the mileage pattern itself. That said, the lack of service history beyond MOTs makes it impossible to assess whether critical items like timing belts, differential fluid, or suspension components were serviced according to manufacturer recommendations. Given the sparse record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that aren’t routinely checked in MOTs. Focus on the suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in this model. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or excessive lateral run-out on discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in wet conditions. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the recent pass, but a thorough underbody check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is advisable, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in salty or humid environments. The absence of advisories in the last test does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
