2010 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · CK60 AAE

As of the most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 139,511 miles, the Renault Trafic passed with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthy condition per DVSA criteria. The maintenance trend appears stable, with annual examinations showing no mechanical advisories across three years of data. Two earlier failures on 10 June 2025 and 5 June 2024, both with no defects logged, were each followed within a week by a pass at near-identical mileage, suggesting resolved non-mechanical or administrative discrepancies rather than worsening faults. The mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2010 panel van. The record shows 118,948 miles at the June 2023 test, rising to 132,088 by June 2024, a 13,140-mile year, and 139,511 by June 2025, a reduced 7,423-mile year. This equates to an overall average of roughly 8,700 miles annually, confirming light-to-moderate duty. No significant gaps exist as the owner maintained continuous annual MOT compliance. The slight slowdown in accumulation near the end of the record may reflect reduced commercial use. Despite the clean advisory sheet, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components. The tester recorded no corrosion or suspension wear, yet a 16-year-old Trafic at 139,511 miles will likely exhibit tired suspension bushes, possible coil spring fractures, and brake disc lip formation unseen in a pass result. Examine structural integrity around chassis rails and sills for rust, and verify brake calipers move freely without binding. The absence of logged defects does not exempt the van from consumable wear. Previous keepers demonstrated punctual testing behaviour, with retests booked days apart. That pattern implies basic statutory upkeep was met, though the lack of any advisories across high-mileage years is unusual and warrants scrutiny of the test station's thoroughness. Prior to purchase, confirm service history complements the MOT and assess exhaust emissions under load.
