2017 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · AY67 AHO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of accelerating mechanical wear consistent with its high usage profile. The most recent test in July 2026 at 325,530 miles identified developing issues including a deteriorated nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and slight play in the steering rack inner joints. While the vehicle passed, the emergence of steering geometry and suspension wear suggests that the front end components are beginning to reach the end of their service life under constant heavy use. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally aggressive, averaging over 36,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between June 2022 and June 2023, where the vehicle covered 67,923 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of operation continued, with another 66,539 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests. Such a pattern indicates heavy commercial or long-distance transit application, which places immense strain on the drivetrain, braking system, and structural integrity compared to a standard light vehicle. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly, as the record already flags inner steering rack play and deteriorating ball joint boots. The braking system requires close attention given that thin rear pads were noted in 2024 at 210,678 miles; with over 114,000 miles driven since, these components likely require immediate replacement. Additionally, the oil leak noted in 2023 should be monitored to ensure it has not progressed into a more significant failure due to the high-mileage engine stress.
