Our Verdict
A solid, well-maintained workhorse that is recommended for buyers needing a reliable large van. The consistent MOT pass record suggests a vehicle that has been kept in roadworthy condition despite its high usage.
When inspecting this Relay, focus on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine at this mileage. Check for evidence of regular oil changes, as diesel engines in these vans are prone to wear if service intervals are stretched.
Negotiate based on the most recent advisory regarding the rear lower gearbox mounting. While it passed the MOT, a worn bush can lead to increased vibration and further wear on the drivetrain if not addressed. Ask the seller if this has been replaced since February 2026.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for efficiency under load, though fuel costs will be a significant monthly expense given the vehicle's size. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large panel van, coupled with a standard diesel tax bracket for 2016 models.
Insurance for the Relay typically falls into a mid-range commercial category. Maintenance costs are generally predictable, though as the vehicle surpasses 125,000 miles, you should budget for more frequent suspension and brake component replacements.
Pay close attention to the gearbox mounting mentioned in the 2026 MOT; check for excessive movement in the drivetrain when engaging gears. Given the 2024 MOT noted thin brake pads on both front and rear inner sections, verify that a full brake service has been carried out since then.
Check the tyre tread across all four corners. The 2023 MOT highlighted issues with front tyres wearing on the edges, which could indicate an alignment problem or heavy loading patterns. Finally, inspect the windscreen for any lingering chips or cracks, referencing the 2022 advisory.
This 2016 white Citroen Relay with the 2.2L diesel engine has covered 127,277 miles over ten years. Its MOT history is impressively clean, with only minor advisory notes and no major failures recorded in the last five years. It represents a fair value proposition for those seeking a high-mileage vehicle with a documented history of regular compliance.
While aggregate data is unavailable, the specific history of this vehicle suggests a reliable example of the Relay range.
