2024 Citroen Relay 35L3H2 Eprise ED Bhdi SS Diesel · YM24 KLF

This 2024 Citroen Relay 35 L3H2 Enterprise Edition BlueHDi has no recorded MOT history, which is entirely expected rather than a red flag: vehicles in Great Britain do not require their first MOT until the third anniversary of registration, meaning this van will not be due its first test until 2027. There is therefore no DVSA outcome, failure record, or advisory data on which to base a mechanical trend assessment, and no pass or fail result can be quoted. Any claim about this vehicle's roadworthiness based on test history would be speculation, and buyers should treat the absence of data as exactly that, an absence, rather than evidence of either soundness or neglect. Mileage is recorded as unknown, and with no MOT tests there are no odometer readings on the DVSA database to establish an annual accumulation rate or usage pattern. This matters more for a Relay than for a typical car, because large panel vans of this type are frequently worked hard in courier, conversion, or fleet roles and can accumulate very high mileages quickly. Without verified readings, the buyer cannot distinguish between a lightly used two-year-old van and one that has already covered substantial distance. Before purchase, request the service book, any fleet or lease documentation, and a mileage check against the digital service records, and verify the odometer reading in person against any paperwork supplied. In the absence of test data, the inspection burden falls entirely on a physical examination. On a test drive, listen for knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which on heavily laden Relays can indicate worn drop links, wishbone bushes, or strut top bearings. Check that the van tracks straight under braking without pulling, and feel for judder through the pedal that would suggest warped discs, a common consequence of sustained loaded braking. The BlueHDi diesel engine should start cleanly from cold without excessive cranking, produce no blue or white smoke under acceleration, and show no warning lights relating to the AdBlue or emissions after-treatment system, faults in which can be expensive to rectify. Given the age, the van should still sit within the remainder of its manufacturer warranty, so confirm with Citroen that the warranty is intact and transferable, and check for any outstanding recalls via the DVSA recall checker. Inspect the load area for damage consistent with heavy use, examine the rear doors, hinges, and floor for distortion, and look underneath for corrosion or impact damage to the chassis and exhaust. Finally, run a finance and write-off check, since a vehicle this young with no test history offers no independent corroboration of its past, and the paperwork trail is the only substitute available.
