Our Verdict

This Citroen Relay is a sensible option

When inspecting this 2017 diesel van, your primary focus should be on the heavy-duty components typical of the L4H2 long-wheelbase model. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should personally verify the condition of the suspension, particularly the rear leaf springs and shock absorbers, which endure significant stress in these large-capacity vehicles.

Ask the seller for any evidence of scheduled maintenance, as the MOT only confirms the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing and does not account for mechanical wear or service intervals. For a 2.0L BlueHDi engine, check for any signs of recent timing belt or water pump replacements, which are critical maintenance items for this engine type as they approach higher mileage.

As a 1997cc diesel, the Relay is designed for efficiency under load, though actual fuel economy will vary significantly depending on the payload and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary, so it is essential to obtain a specific quote based on the LP17HBU registration.

Maintenance costs for commercial vehicles like this Citroen tend to be higher than passenger cars due to the cost of larger tyres and heavy-duty components. You should budget for regular servicing to maintain the BlueHDi emissions systems. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £2,200-£2,800, depending heavily on annual mileage and fuel prices.

The recent MOT history for LP17HBU is notable for having no recorded defects in 2022 or 2023. However, you should still perform a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyre tread depths, as these are common areas for wear in high-mileage vans.

Check the underside of the black chassis for any signs of corrosion or impact damage, and inspect all lighting elements to ensure they are fully functional. Given the L4H2 configuration, also check the integrity of the load area and any rear door seals to ensure the van remains weather-tight.

Registered in August 2017, this black Citroen Relay 35 H-Y L4H2 EPRISE B-HDI has covered 107,991 miles as of its last MOT in October 2023. The vehicle has demonstrated a clean MOT record for its two most recent tests, with no defects or advisories noted in 2022 or 2023. This suggests that, based strictly on MOT testing standards, the vehicle has been compliant with minimum safety requirements recently.

No aggregate MOT data is available for the Citroen Relay 35 H-Y L4H2 EPRISE B-HDI to provide a statistical reliability comparison.
