2021 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · LG21 DYH

Recurring advisories regarding cooling system integrity and tyre wear constitute the primary mechanical concerns for this vehicle, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 10 November 2025. While the vehicle successfully cleared its previous failure points concerning side repeater functionality, the emergence of a coolant leak advisory alongside persistent warnings about front tyre wear and brake disc degradation suggests a trend of consumable wear and fluid system issues. The transition from a failure in late 2024 to a pass in late 2025 shows that while electrical lighting defects have been addressed, the underlying mechanical advisories regarding the cooling system and braking components have remained present or intensified. The recorded mileage of 44,756 miles over approximately five years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,951 miles, which is a typical usage pattern for a commercial vehicle of this type. This moderate mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive heavy-duty long-distance haulage, but it also indicates that components such as tyres, brake discs, and cooling system hoses are reaching the stages of life where wear becomes visible in official testing. The consistency of the testing intervals suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which typically helps prevent certain types of degradation but ensures that wear on consumables remains a factor to monitor. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the cooling system, given the advisory for a coolant leak recorded during the November 2025 test. During a test drive and stationary inspection, look for any visible traces of dried coolant residue around hose connections, the radiator, or the water pump housing, and monitor the temperature gauge closely for any fluctuations that might indicate an overheating issue. Additionally, the repeated advisories regarding front tyre wear on the edges and the condition of the brake discs necessitate a physical inspection. Check the front tyres for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues, and listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding noises from the front end that might suggest the brake discs are nearing the end of their serviceable life. The history of side repeater failures and registration plate lamp defects indicates that electrical components and external light housings are prone to issues on this vehicle. When inspecting the van, verify that all indicators, including side repeaters, are functioning correctly and that the light housings are secure and not cracked, as previous failures were linked to broken units. Furthermore, because the nearside front brake disc was flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025, a test drive should include several controlled braking applications to check for any pedal judder or vibration, which would confirm that the discs are becoming uneven or excessively thin.
