2022 Citroen Relay

CarHunch analysed 172 real MOT records for the 2022 Citroen Relay. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Citroën Relay passes its MOT first time in 83.2% of cases, which is a solid 3.2 percentage points above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.3% of vehicles. This is a genuinely reliable van for its age, with no standout safety concerns flagged by the test data.

At an average mileage of 25,079 miles for a two-year-old vehicle, these Relays are running right on expected usage, and the low failure rate of 0.33 per vehicle tells you major problems are uncommon. Before buying one, check its service history carefully and have an independent inspection, since advisories average 0.7 per vehicle—minor wear items rather than structural issues, but worth understanding what's been flagged.

What to check before buying a 2022 Citroen Relay

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
