2017 RENAULT MASTER2.3L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 196,889 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in September 2022, suggesting that despite the high usage, the previous owners have been responsive to MOT requirements and have maintained the vehicle in operational condition. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a nine-year-old van, averaging over 21,000 miles annually. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the vehicle covered 31,452 miles, which confirms heavy commercial use or long-distance commuting. The brief failure on 15 September 2023 at 183,155 miles was rectified quickly within a week, and the vehicle has since added another 13,734 miles since the last successful test, bringing the total to nearly 200,000 miles. This rapid accumulation of mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the heavy-wear components that typically fail at these mileage intervals. Given the consistent high usage, check for perished suspension bushes, worn dampers, and coil springs for signs of excessive play or fatigue. The braking system should be evaluated for thin discs and binding calipers, as the high-mileage cycle often accelerates hardware degradation. Additionally, inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and mounting points, where road salt and heavy loads compromise the integrity of a Renault Master.
