Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of over 219,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the engine and turbocharger have been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Negotiate the price downward to account for the likely upcoming need for suspension repairs and tyre replacements, as recent records show wear in these areas.
Ask specifically about the 2023 emissions failure. You should request evidence that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) or fuel system was addressed, as smoke emissions on a Euro 6 engine can indicate underlying issues. Check the full service history for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, which are critical at this mileage.
As a 2.0L diesel commercial vehicle, fuel costs will be a primary expense, heavily influenced by load weight and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for the Relay vary depending on the specific payload and insurance group, but expect commercial rates.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the high mileage. You should budget for more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items such as brakes, suspension components (as evidenced by the 2023 and 2026 MOT records), and tyres. An estimated annual running cost for a vehicle of this age and usage is approximately £2,500-£3,500, excluding major repairs.
Pay close attention to the front suspension; the 2026 MOT noted worn suspension arm pins/bushes and separating rear bushes on the lower arms. A test drive is essential to check for knocks or uneven handling that might indicate further degradation.
Inspect the windscreen and washer system, as these have been flagged in recent history. Additionally, verify that all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps and headlamp aim, is functioning correctly to avoid immediate post-purchase MOT issues. Finally, check the exhaust system for any signs of excessive smoke during a cold start to ensure the 2023 emissions failure was fully rectified.
This 2019 Citroen Relay has covered 219,257 miles in approximately seven years, which is significantly higher than average for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, including suspension component wear and lighting failures. While it has passed its most recent tests, the mileage and previous emissions failure suggest a vehicle that has seen heavy commercial use.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Citroen Relay to provide a comparative baseline.
