2019 Citroen Relay 35 Hvy L4h2 Ent Bhdi Ss

CarHunch analysed 134 real MOT records for the 2019 Citroen Relay 35 Hvy L4h2 Ent Bhdi Ss. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Citroën Relay 35 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 68.9%, notably below the UK average of 80%, and a quarter of vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a genuine concern for a large commercial van where brake or structural failures carry real safety implications. This is a workhorse that struggles more than most when it meets the test.

These vans are running around 72,000 miles median—reasonable for their age—but they're averaging nearly one failure per vehicle and 2.9 advisories each, suggesting wear accumulates steadily. If you're buying one used, budget for near-term repairs and insist on a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on braking systems, suspension, and load-bearing components.

What to check before buying a 2019 Citroen Relay 35 Hvy L4h2 Ent Bhdi Ss

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 24.6% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
