2021 Renault Trafic LL30 B-Ness+ Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · C5 JTC

This Renault Trafic has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two MOT cycles, both tests concluding with a clean pass and no recorded defects. The most recent inspection on 14 July 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed compliance across all tested areas, including brakes, emissions, suspension, and structural integrity. While the absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet minimum legal standards, the gap between tests (approximately 12 months) aligns with the standard MOT interval. No recurring issues are evident in the record, though the lack of advisory notes means potential wear—such as suspension bushes or brake pad thickness—cannot be confirmed without further inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 69,766 miles, accumulated over roughly five years, equates to an average of around 14,000 miles annually, which is elevated for a commercial van of this age. Comparing the two MOT dates, the vehicle covered approximately 5,000 miles between tests, indicating consistent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. While high mileage typically correlates with greater wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and drivetrain components, the absence of failings in the MOT history does not preclude accelerated deterioration in areas not routinely tested—such as differential fluid condition, timing belt (if applicable), or exhaust system integrity. The lack of a service history complicates this assessment further. A prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection focusing on high-wear components given the mileage. Tyres should be examined for uneven wear patterns or tread depth below 1.6mm, as the MOT does not test for individual tyre condition beyond the minimum legal requirement. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be assessed for leaks, stiffness, or corrosion, especially in the rear where binding calipers or worn bushes can develop without MOT detection. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, as the MOT only flags severe wear or failure. Additionally, the exhaust system should be inspected for rust-through or leaks, particularly around joints and beneath the vehicle, where corrosion often goes unnoticed until structural integrity is compromised. The underbody and wheel arches should also be scrutinised for signs of corrosion, which can weaken the chassis over time.
