Citroën Relay MOT reliability

We do not show MOT figures for the Citroën Relay. 100% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.

Citroën Relay safety recalls

DVSA lists 33 safety recalls for the Citroën Relay since 1992, the first in 2001. The most recent was launched on 3 July 2026.

Relay software – turn signal detection.

Launched 3 July 2026 DVSA recall R/2026/287 Manufacturer ref. G2T – 261205EE

Defect
On affected vehicles the Body Control Module is not correctly configured to detect a failure in the indicator lamps. As a result if a turn indicator bulb fails it's not detected and the indicator warning does not activate.
Remedy
Update the vehicle configuration and the Secure Gateway Electronic Control Unit.
Vehicles affected

All 33 Citroën Relay recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

100% of the Citroën Relays on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Citroën Relay. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
