Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When inspecting this 2.0L diesel van, focus heavily on the underside and drivetrain. The MOT history shows a history of CV boot deterioration (noted in 2022 and 2023) and steering rack play (noted in 2024). You should verify if the steering rack issue identified in 2024 has been professionally rectified, as this can be a costly component.
Check the service history specifically for oil leak management, as 'not excessive' oil leaks have been flagged in both 2023 and 2025. Additionally, given the recent advisories regarding both front and rear tyres, as well as brake discs and pads, you should negotiate the price based on the immediate need for fresh rubber and braking components to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy and safe.
As a 1997cc diesel, this Relay is designed for commercial utility. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but typical figures for this engine size in a large van range from 30-35 mpg. Tax and insurance will vary based on your specific profile and the van's payload rating.
Maintenance costs for this vehicle may be higher in the short term due to the documented wear on tyres, brakes, and the potential for steering or CV joint repairs. Expect typical commercial van servicing intervals, but budget extra for the specific items flagged in the MOT history.
First, inspect the drivetrain by checking the CV boots for any signs of grease leakage or splitting, following the issues noted in 2022 and 2023. Second, test the steering feel carefully to ensure the 'play in steering rack inner joint' reported in 2024 has been fully resolved.
Third, examine the engine bay and the ground beneath the vehicle for signs of the oil leaks mentioned in the 2023 and 2025 tests. Finally, check the condition of all four tyres and the brake discs/pads, as the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of wear across these consumables (noted in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025).
This 2018 Citroen Relay, first registered in September 2018, has covered 109,874 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The MOT history shows a transition from a defect-free record in 2021 to an increasing number of advisories in later years. Notable recurring issues include windscreen damage and tyre wear, alongside specific mechanical advisories such as steering rack play and CV boot deterioration.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Citroen Relay to provide a comparative model-wide assessment.
