The Citroen Relay is now a rebadged Fiat Ducato which is also the Peugeot Boxer and the Vauxhall Movano so you have 4 options when you are buying a new or used van from these manufacturers. The coming together of Fiat/Chrysler and the French car giants to create Stellantis has meant there are a lot of crossover van models that are both reliable and cheap to run. Making them a desirable van for any tradesman.
The Fiat Relay is competing with the Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter, taller vans that you can stand in, which some tradespeople might prefer. This type of van is popular with couriers and for white goods/appliances delivery.
The Fiat diesel engine is designed to run for up to 300,000 miles or more and if you can get the body work and chassis there as well you will have a very cost effective alternative to the competition in the light commercial van market. The Ford Transit and VW Crafter have better reviews for comfort and drivability.
The cost of van insurance for this model depends on the power unit you choose. For new Relays you can either have a diesel (Euro 6) BlueHDi 120,140,165 hp or an E-Relay with two battery options to give you either 73 or 154 mile range. Putting them in van insurance groups 35 to 48 (for vans registered after 2016).
In 2016 Citroen Relays diesel engines were downsized to meet Euro 6 emissions regulations from 2.2 to 2.0L. If you are planning to visit areas with strict emissions control for diesel engines such as London you need to buy a post 2016 Relay to avoid paying charges. We ran a quote on a 2018 Citreon Relay 33 L1H1 110PS worth £12,000 for a self-employed builder living in Reading.
