2021 Citroen Relay 35 L3 Bluehdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · MF21 PLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, though it shows emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 77,101 miles passed despite an offside inner drive shaft boot weeping oil from the clip. While this defect did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of a component failure that requires attention to prevent grease loss and subsequent damage to the CV joint. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity use for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,400 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 57,575 miles and the January 2025 test at 73,321 miles, the vehicle covered 15,746 miles in just under ten months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance motorway use, which typically places higher stress on the suspension components, braking system, and drivetrain assembly compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the offside drive shaft area to ensure the weeping boot has been replaced and that no joint play is present. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is necessary to identify signs of accelerated wear. The previous failure in 2025 for headlamp aim was a minor adjustment issue, but the recorded windscreen damage from 2024 should be monitored for new cracks that could eventually compromise the driver's field of view.
