2020 Renault Master MM35 Business DCI 2.3L Diesel · DIG 60

A persistent pattern of braking system degradation defines this vehicle's history, characterized by a progression from dashboard warnings to a dangerous failure. While the vehicle achieved a pass on 2025-11-03, this followed a failure just days prior due to critically worn offside rear brake pads. The record indicates a tendency for wear items to be monitored via advisories for extended periods before corrective action is taken, as seen with the recurring brake disc and pad warnings and the previous failure regarding the engine management light. With 58,303 miles recorded over approximately six years, the annual accumulation of roughly 9,700 miles is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age. This usage profile suggests a moderate duty cycle, meaning the drivetrain and suspension should not be excessively fatigued, although the recorded history confirms that consumables like brake pads and tyres have reached their natural end-of-life cycles in line with this mileage. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system during a test drive to ensure the recent repairs have restored full efficiency. Listen for any grinding or pulsing through the brake pedal, which could indicate that the discs mentioned in the 2025 advisories were not replaced alongside the pads. The previous failure regarding the engine management light suggests a potential electrical or sensor fault; verify that no warning lamps remain illuminated on the instrument cluster and that the engine idles smoothly without hesitation. Inspect the offside seat belt webbing for the fraying noted in the latest inspection, as this remains an active advisory and affects occupant safety. Check the windscreen for the previously noted damage to ensure it has not spread or obstructed the driver's field of vision. Finally, examine the rear tyres for uneven wear or deformation, specifically on the nearside, to determine if the previous issues with tyre shape were caused by a misalignment or suspension component wear that may still be present.
