2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · AO16 BBZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-07 at 150,174 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, but a prior failure on 2026-03-31 at 150,167 miles also showed no defects. This suggests the failure may have been procedural or unrelated to mechanical issues. The trend from 2023 to 2026 shows consistent passing tests with no recorded faults, indicating stable maintenance practices. However, the abrupt failure without explanation raises questions about the reliability of the MOT process or potential unrecorded issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 150,174 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 15,017 miles annually, which is high for its age. The MOT records show gradual mileage increases, with 135,668 miles in 2023, 140,259 in 2024, 145,486 in 2025, and 150,174 in 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The absence of defects in prior tests does not rule out latent issues, particularly given the high annual mileage. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can cause uneven tyre wear or handling issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, as high mileage increases the risk of deterioration. The exhaust system and emissions components warrant scrutiny, as older vehicles may develop leaks or inefficiencies. Structural integrity should also be assessed, though no rust or corrosion was flagged in the MOT history. The recent failure without defects underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
