2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · AV66 AET

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 April 2025 at 137,003 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This sustained clean sheet across the last five annual tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids recurring mechanical failures. The maintenance trend remains stable, showing no signs of escalating mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern indicates heavy commercial-style use, averaging approximately 13,700 miles per year over its ten-year life. A significant jump in usage is noted between October 2021 (81,505 miles) and October 2022 (102,167 miles), where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in just twelve months. Since then, the usage has stabilized at a rate of roughly 14,000 to 16,000 miles annually. This consistent accumulation suggests the van was used regularly for long distances rather than sitting through long periods of inactivity. While the record shows no historical advisories, a physical inspection must focus on components subject to high-mileage wear. Given the 137,000-mile mark, the buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushes for tearing and coil springs for sagging, which often occur under heavy loads. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, as the high mileage places significant stress on the braking system. Additionally, an inspection of the chassis and underbody is essential to ensure that road salt corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity, despite the recent clean test results.
