2011 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · BK61 AAZ

The 2026‑03‑25 MOT at 198,316 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the identical mileage failure recorded on the same day indicates unresolved or recurring mechanical concerns that were corrected before the successful retest, suggesting an inconsistent maintenance trend rather than steady improvement. The vehicle, a 2011 Renault Trafic, has accumulated roughly 13,221 miles per year over 15 years, a rate that is high for its age and points to intensive use; mileage jumps from 174,840 miles in April 2024 to 186,086 miles in March 2025 (11,246 miles in 11 months) and then to 198,316 miles in March 2026 (12,230 miles in a year), showing continuous high‑usage patterns with no extended low‑kilometre periods. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, test the rear brakes for caliper binding and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for structural rust on chassis rails and the exhaust system, as these components have shown recurring issues in the test history. Given the high annual mileage and the lack of detailed defect notes, a thorough physical inspection covering tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the integrity of the drivetrain mounts is advisable before final purchase.
