2020 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · MJ20 AEL

The vehicle presents a contradictory roadworthiness picture from its most recent testing cycle. On 15 June 2023 at 60,164 miles the Citroen Relay first failed the MOT with no defects recorded, then passed the same day at the identical mileage with no defects noted. This paired failure and pass on one date with zero advisory or fault entries suggests an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical defect, and the maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving from such sparse data. The recorded odometer reading of 60,164 miles against a 2020 build date gives an average of roughly 10,000 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial van of this type. The only mileage figure in the entire history is the June 2023 entry, so no accumulation pattern, gap, or rapid use can be established from the record. A clean single-year snapshot with no prior tests logged implies either the vehicle was exempt in earlier years or the history is incomplete. A buyer should physically verify the DVSA database entry behind the same-day fail and pass, as the absence of recorded defects on a failure is irregular and may point to a data error or a withdrawn test. Given the Relay's age and unverified six-year standing period implied by the lone mileage point, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or seizure from inactivity. Check structural integrity underneath for rust and confirm the AdBlue emissions system functions, since the 2.0 BlueHDi diesel requires regular use to avoid dosing faults.
