2011 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · BK61 AAV

The most recent MOT on 30 April 2024 at 152,386 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester recorded several advisories. These include a damaged windscreen that does not impair the driver's view, a minor oil leak, front inner tyres worn to the legal limit with a nail present, slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, corrosion on both front coil springs and a slightly noisy rear off‑side wheel bearing. Compared with earlier tests that failed for lighting, wiper and brake defects, the current pass shows that those safety‑critical items have been rectified, indicating an improving trend for functional systems while wear‑related components continue to deteriorate. At fifteen years old the vehicle has accumulated about 152,400 miles, averaging roughly 10,200 miles per year, which is typical for a Renault Master of this age. MOT entries are spaced roughly annually, with no large gaps or sudden jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of extensive use or long storage. The steady accumulation points to regular use rather than sporadic high‑mileage bursts. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, specifically checking the lower arm ball joint for play and inspecting both coil springs for advanced corrosion. The rear wheel bearing noise noted in the last test warrants a road test for roughness or humming, and the brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and any signs of cracking or weakening. Tyres show repeated edge wear and a nail intrusion, so tread depth, sidewall condition and inflation pressure need verification. The windscreen damage, while not currently affecting vision, should be examined for cracks that could spread, and the minor oil leak traced to its source to ensure it is not worsening. Finally, given the historic low power‑steering fluid level, the reservoir and pump should be checked for leaks and proper fluid level.
