2021 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Eprise Bhdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · MW71 CSV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 16 January 2026 at 98,676 miles, indicating a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues identified by testing stations during this period. This Citroen Relay has accumulated mileage at a high rate, averaging approximately 19,735 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. The jump of 31,452 miles between the December 2024 test and the January 2026 inspection confirms consistent, heavy commercial usage. While the lack of failure items is encouraging, this volume of mileage typically accelerates the degradation of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and clutch assemblies compared to a vehicle with lighter duty cycles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that often escape minor MOT scrutiny. Check the condition of the turbocharger and diesel particulate filter, as these systems frequently experience strain in high-mileage commercial vans. Inspect the suspension joints and steering rack for play, as these components endure significant stress under heavy loads. Verify the state of the brake discs and pads, as the recent pass does not guarantee that these consumables are not nearing their wear limits. Given the intensive usage pattern, a thorough assessment of the transmission and engine bay for fluid leaks remains a prudent step before finalising any purchase.
