Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, provided a service history is verified. This 2018 Citroen Relay shows a consistent pattern of passing MOT tests with no recorded defects over its lifetime.
While the MOT history is clean, you should request the full service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil and filter changes. For a van of this age and mileage, check that the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine size.
During a viewing, inspect the load area for signs of heavy wear or structural damage that might not be visible in an MOT test. Negotiate based on the documented service intervals rather than just the clean MOT record, as the MOT only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards on specific dates.
As a 1997cc diesel, this Relay is designed for efficiency in commercial use, though fuel costs will depend heavily on load weight and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary based on specific payload and security features, so obtain a quote using the registration BX68ABK before committing.
Maintenance costs for Citroen commercial vehicles are generally predictable, but be prepared for potential costs related to diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance if the vehicle is used primarily for short urban trips. Estimated annual running costs typically include fuel, routine servicing, and insurance.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking components, as these are common wear areas for commercial vans, despite no defects being recorded in the recent MOT history. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as the 2025 MOT passed with no defects, but these items can wear quickly between tests.
Given the 2.0L diesel engine, listen for any unusual noises from the belt drive system during a cold start. Additionally, check the underside for any signs of corrosion or leaks, particularly around the exhaust and fuel system, to ensure the vehicle's long-term integrity.
This white 2018 Citroen Relay (BX68ABK) has covered 69,172 miles since its first registration in November 2018. The MOT history is notably clean, with five recorded tests showing no defects at the time of passing. The mileage has increased steadily, from 27,551 miles in 2021 to the most recent reading of 69,172 in October 2025.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Citroen Relay to provide a statistical comparison.
