Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to persistent b
When inspecting this Relay, pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT records from 2022 through 2025 consistently highlight worn, pitted, or scored discs and thinning brake pads. You should negotiate the purchase price to reflect the likely need for a full brake system overhaul, including discs and pads on all corners.
Additionally, check the suspension components. The 'light misting of oil' noted on the shock absorbers across multiple tests suggests these units may require replacement soon. Verify if any suspension work has been carried out, as these advisories have appeared repeatedly over the last four years.
As a 2.2-litre diesel van, the Citroen Relay falls into a higher commercial vehicle tax bracket. Fuel economy will vary significantly based on load weight and driving style, and you should factor in the costs of potential heavy-duty maintenance given the age and mileage of the vehicle.
Insurance costs will depend on your usage (private vs. commercial) and your driving history. With the recurring brake and suspension advisories, you should budget an additional contingency fund of £600-£1,000 for immediate repairs beyond standard annual service items.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the brake discs and pads; the MOT history suggests these are frequently near their wear limits. Ensure that there is no grinding noise or uneven braking performance during a test drive, as the pitting noted in the records can lead to reduced stopping efficiency.
Inspect the shock absorbers for signs of active fluid leakage, as 'misting' can often progress to a full seal failure. Finally, check all exterior lighting, specifically the registration plate lamps and headlamp aim, as these have been cited as issues in previous MOT tests and are common failure points for this model.
This 2014 Citroen Relay has covered 87,065 miles since its registration in July 2014. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of brake disc and pad wear, alongside ongoing reports of shock absorber misting. While the vehicle has successfully passed its last four consecutive annual tests, the repeated advisories indicate that components are reaching the end of their service life.
No specific aggregate reliability data is available for the Citroen Relay, though the MOT history for this specific unit highlights common wear-and-tear items typical of high-mileage commercial vehicles.
