2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · CK16 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass record across the last five inspections. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 191,784 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, maintaining a consistent history of compliance since 2022. This trend suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure during the annual testing process. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 19,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 24,434 miles, showing a peak in activity compared to the 9,896 miles recorded between March 2022 and 2023. Such high annual accumulation suggests the vehicle was likely used for consistent commercial transit work rather than standing for long periods. This high level of mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, despite the clean MOT results. Given the high mileage and the lack of previously recorded advisories, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to accelerated wear under heavy loads. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade before triggering an MOT failure. The braking system should be checked for thin discs and uneven pad wear, as high-frequency use increases thermal stress on these parts. Additionally, the chassis should be examined for structural corrosion in the sills and mounting points to ensure the integrity of the frame remains sound for continued heavy use.
