2021 Citroen Relay 35 L2H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · MM70 TCO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 62,064 miles resulted in a failure due to thin rear brake pads and insufficient parking brake efficiency. While the vehicle passed immediately after these adjustments were made, the failure suggests that the braking system was only addressed once it reached a legal failure point rather than during routine service intervals. The vehicle has covered a consistent and high mileage of approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is typical for a commercial Relay of this age. Between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, the vehicle clocked 12,475 miles, with another 11,671 miles recorded between early 2025 and early 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular commercial use, which places significant stress on heavy-duty components such as the suspension, drivetrain, and braking system. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly, given the recurring issues with pad thickness and parking brake mechanical tension. The 2024 advisory regarding both rear tyres being close to the legal limit and on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or overloaded history that should be verified to prevent premature tyre wear. Additionally, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked, as high-mileage commercial use often accelerates the degradation of these rubber and metal components.
