Moderate sample. 432 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2021 Citroën Relay 35 HVY achieves a 79% first-time pass rate, fractionally below the UK average of 80%, suggesting broadly typical reliability for a commercial van of this age and mileage. The dangerous defect rate of 12.5% is moderate and not a major red flag, though it warrants a pre-purchase inspection of braking and suspension components on any used example.

These vans are running an average of 62,625 miles at around three years old—moderately higher than passenger cars but typical for a commercial vehicle in active use. Each vehicle averages 0.55 failures and 2.0 advisories per MOT, indicating minor wear items rather than systemic problems; focus your pre-purchase checks on the cooling system, electrics, and load-bearing components common to heavy-duty vans in this mileage bracket.

The 2021 Citroen Relay 35 Hvy L4h3 Ent Bhdi Ss passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (82.6%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context
🔧 Average reliability. Passes at roughly the UK rate — not a standout, not a problem vehicle. Individual history makes all the difference.
🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 2 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.
🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 432 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
