Citroen Relay — MOT Reliability Overview
The Citroen Relay has an average MOT pass rate of 67.2%, which is 17.5 percentage points below the Citroen brand average of 84.7%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Relay on the road.
The most common reasons a Citroen Relay fails its MOT are the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, body, cab or chassis excessively corroded at a mounting point, significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake. If you are preparing your Relay for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Citroen Relay, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
