MOT Roadworthiness: Poor

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough inspection. While the mileage is reasonable for the age, the history of multiple MOT failures in short intervals suggests intermittent maintenance issues requiring attention.
When inspecting this Relay, pay close attention to the specific reasons for the 2023 and 2024 failures, as the data provided shows failures occurred without immediate recorded defect lists. You should ask the seller for the detailed advisory notes from those tests to determine if the issues were related to wear items like tyres and brakes or more significant mechanical faults.\n Check the service history to ensure the 2.2-litre engine has had its oil changes regularly. Given the van's age, verify that the suspension components and underbody have been inspected, as these are common areas of wear on this model type.
The 2198cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, but real-world figures will vary based on load and annual mileage. Tax and insurance for this vehicle class are typically mid-range, but buyers should quote based on their specific insurance profile.\n\nMaintenance costs for a large van can be higher than a passenger car. Expect an annual running cost of approximately £1,800-£2,400 including fuel and basic routine servicing.
Inspect the undercarriage for signs of corrosion or structural wear, which is vital for 2014-era vans. Given that the vehicle failed three tests within a year, specifically check the condition of the brakes, tyres, and suspension components.\n\nPay close attention to the lighting system and indicators, as these are frequent causes of MOT failures in commercial vehicles. Ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly and that there are no visible oil leaks from the engine bay.
This 2014 Citroen Relay is a 2.2L diesel van currently showing 96,365 miles, which is slightly below average for a twelve-year-old vehicle. While the most recent MOT in July 2024 passed without defects, the vehicle suffered three failures between June 2023 and July 2024. This pattern indicates that components may have frequently required immediate attention to meet road-safety standards.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Citroen Relay to provide a definitive statistical comparison.
