2009 RENAULT TRAFIC SL27+ DCI 1152.0L HEAVY OIL

The 2026‑01‑07 MOT at 216,145 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The consistent pass rate since 2017, with no recorded failures, indicates a stable maintenance record and no evident worsening of mechanical condition. The vehicle’s mileage has risen sharply in recent years: from 164,059 miles in the January 2022 test to 216,145 miles by January 2026, an increase of 52,086 miles over four years, or roughly 13,000 miles per year. This rapid accumulation, especially the jump from 171,818 miles in May 2023 to 198,708 miles in October 2024, suggests intensified use or longer intervals between tests, contrasting with the more gradual mileage growth in the earlier decade. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the suspension system, examining rear and front bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or cracking, and inspect the braking system for binding calipers, worn brake discs and tyre tread depth, as these components typically show stress at high annual mileage. Given the absence of structural rust advisories in the MOT history and the lack of any recorded defects, the primary concerns are consumable wear and potential hidden corrosion; a thorough visual inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, together with a brake performance test, will reveal whether the vehicle can sustain further service without costly repairs.
