Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
The most striking feature is the low mileage, but the MOT history suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, evidenced by 'perishing' tyres noted in both 2025 and 2026. You should verify the service history to ensure oil and filters were changed based on time intervals rather than just mileage.
Use the recent advisories as a point for negotiation. The July 2026 test identified a missing exhaust bolt and a minor leak, as well as an inoperative registration lamp, all of which are simple but necessary fixes. Ensure these have been rectified before purchase.
Equipped with a 2198cc diesel engine, fuel costs will be typical for a large van, though efficiency will vary depending on the payload. Insurance groups for the Relay are generally moderate for commercial vehicles, and road tax will be based on its 2012 diesel emissions bracket.
Maintenance costs for this specific vehicle may be slightly higher in the short term due to the need for new tyres and suspension bush replacement. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,800-£2,400.
Prioritise an inspection of the tyres; the MOT records from March 2025 and July 2026 specifically mention cracking and perishing across multiple tyres. Check the front lower arm rear bushes, which were flagged as worn in 2025, and the sump pan for the oil leak recorded in April 2024.
Additionally, inspect the front exhaust system for the missing bolt and gas leak noted in the most recent test. Finally, check the windscreen for the damage mentioned in the 2021 record to ensure it has been repaired or replaced.
This white 2012 Citroen Relay has covered 61,335 miles, which is significantly lower than typical for a vehicle of this age and type. While it has passed its last five MOT tests, the history shows a pattern of minor advisories related to tyre degradation and small leaks. It represents a low-usage example of the 2.2L diesel variant.
Aggregate reliability data is unavailable for the Citroen Relay, but this specific vehicle has a consistent record of passing its MOT tests.
