2017 RENAULT TRAFIC1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT result in October 2025 at 90,552 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of recent instability, as evidenced by a failure just one day prior. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection without defects, the previous failure involving the engine management warning light and a serious leak in the rear suspension indicates that critical mechanical issues were only addressed immediately before the successful re-test. At 90,552 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a commercial van of this age. The mileage history shows a steady progression, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 6,000 miles in the final year. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally positive for the preservation of mechanical components. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the engine management indicator light system, which was flagged as inoperative or malfunctioning in both 2024 and 2025. This recurring fault suggests potential underlying electrical or sensor issues that require professional diagnostic verification. Additionally, the rear suspension should be inspected closely, as the nearside rear shock absorber was previously noted for a serious fluid leak. The braking system also warrants attention, given that rear brake pads were identified as wearing thin during the September 2024 test. While these may have been replaced since then, a buyer should verify the remaining life of the pads and discs to ensure the maintenance was performed to a high standard and that no further wear is present.
