2020 Citroen Relay 35 L3 Bluehdi S/S 2.2L Diesel · OY20 LFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 97,557 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure in the recent history was related to headlamp aim being too high, which is a minor adjustment issue. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record across several previous tests, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components are meeting minimum legal standards despite the high usage profile. At 97,557 miles over six years, this Citroen Relay has averaged approximately 16,200 miles per year. This represents a high mileage pattern consistent with a commercial vehicle used for heavy duties. The data shows steady accumulation, with nearly 7,000 miles covered between July and December 2023, and another 8,000 miles in the year leading the final tests. Such consistent use often indicates a vehicle that is operated regularly, which can prevent internal corrosion but places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and suspension components given the high annual mileage. The January 2025 failure noted a nearside rear tyre bulge caused by structural separation, which highlights the risk of impact damage or sidewall fatigue under load. You must check for uneven wear and inspect the bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade prematurely on high-mileage vans. While the MOT record shows no advisories for structural rust yet, a close visual check of the chassis and under mounting points is necessary to ensure the high-intensity use has not compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle.
