2021 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · MT71 YCG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the van passed its most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 92,787 miles, it failed just one day prior at 92,786 miles. This failure revealed multiple safety issues involving brake pads, tyres, and suspension, suggesting the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by the tester rather than performing routine inspections between intervals. At 92,787 miles over five years, this Relay has covered a significant distance averaging approximately 18,500 miles per year. The gap between the October 2024 test at 68,167 miles and the October 2025 test shows the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in a single year. Such a high rate of use places considerable strain on heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension and braking system, which show clear wear in the record. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front shock absorber, as the tester noted light misting of oil in the 2025 records. Although currently only an advisory, oil misting indicates a failing seal that will eventually lead to a fluid leak and compromised handling. The offside rear tyre also shows signs of perishing or cracking, which is common with high-age tyres but requires close monitoring. Given that the nearside rear tyre previously failed for reaching the ply cords, a full check of all four tyres is necessary to ensure no other structural cuts exist.
