Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage, but the recent MOT history is encouraging. This 2014 Citroen Relay shows a clean record over its last three tests, which is a positive sign for a high-use commercial vehicle.
Given the 2.2L diesel engine and the 181,334 miles recorded, your primary focus should be on the service history. While the MOTs are clear, an MOT is not a substitute for a full service history; you should verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced recently, as these are critical for this engine type at this mileage.
When negotiating, consider the high mileage as a lever. Check for signs of heavy load usage, such as excessive wear on the suspension or interior trim. Ensure that any recent major maintenance, such as clutch or turbocharger work, is documented, as these components are subject to significant wear in high-mileage commercial vans.
As a 2198cc diesel, running costs will be dictated by your annual mileage. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style, but you should expect typical van figures for this engine size. Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 Relay vary based on specific payload and security features, so obtain a quote before purchasing.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage may increase as wear-and-tear items like brakes, tyres, and suspension components require more frequent attention. Budget for a higher contingency fund for repairs compared to a lower-mileage equivalent.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. Although the recent MOTs show no defects, high-mileage vans are prone to corrosion and wear in the suspension bushings and exhaust system. Check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, particularly around the turbocharger and fuel system.
Specifically, look at the tyres and brake components; while the 2023 MOT recorded no defects, the high mileage suggests these will be nearing the end of their life cycles. Test the clutch engagement and gear changes to ensure the high mileage hasn't led to significant transmission wear.
This 2014 Citroen Relay is a high-mileage diesel van, having covered 181,334 miles as of its last MOT in December 2023. While it has seen significant use, the most recent three MOT tests have passed without any recorded defects. The vehicle's history shows a single failure in late 2021, but it has maintained a clean record since then.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Citroen Relay to provide a comparative benchmark.
