Our Verdict
A compelling option for buyers seeking a
Given the very low mileage for a 17-year-old commercial vehicle, it is essential to scrutinize the service history to ensure oil and filter changes were performed regardless of the low distance covered. Check for any signs of inactivity or seal degradation that can occur when a diesel engine is under-used.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the recent parking brake failure. Ensure that the rectification of the 2026 MOT failures was carried out by a reputable garage and that the parking brake now holds firmly on an incline.
The 2198cc diesel engine is built for utility and load-carrying, though fuel efficiency will fluctuate depending on the payload. Tax and insurance groups for the Relay vary by specific body configuration, but generally remain moderate for a vehicle of this size.
Annual running costs will be dominated by fuel and routine maintenance. Given the age of the vehicle, buyers should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brake pads, even if the mileage remains low.
The most critical area to inspect is the parking brake, as it failed the MOT on 2026-04-09 for efficiency below requirements. Test the handbrake thoroughly to ensure it is functioning as intended. Additionally, check the registration plate lamps and the nearside side repeater, which was noted as discoloured in the April 2026 test.
Inspect the silver paintwork and chassis for corrosion, as older commercial vehicles are prone to rust. Check the engine bay for any leaks and ensure the diesel engine starts cleanly from cold without excessive smoke.
This silver 2009 Citroen Relay has recorded 66,985 miles, which is remarkably low for a diesel van of this age. The MOT history shows three consecutive clean passes between 2023 and 2025, followed by a failure in April 2026 that was rectified within 24 hours.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Citroen Relay to provide a broader reliability trend for this model.
