This Relay just slightly underperforms the UK average with a 78.1% first-time pass rate versus 80%, which suggests it's a broadly reliable van but not exceptional—and the 3.1% dangerous defect rate is reassuringly low, so safety isn't a concern here. At 43,400 miles median for a 2022 model, these vans are running relatively light, and the low failure rate of just 0.2 per vehicle indicates they're holding up well mechanically so far.

The 0.8 advisories per van tells you minor issues do crop up, but nothing serious enough to fail the test in most cases. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the drivetrain and cooling system, since these are workhorses that can accumulate damage fast once abuse begins.
