Our Verdict
Approach this 2011 Renault Master with caution due to a prior MOT failure for structural corrosion and very high mileage. It can serve as a working van if priced accordingly, but budget for imminent suspension and brake upkeep.
Given the 2022 failure for offside rear suspension mounting area excessively corroded at the sill, insist on a professional inspection of the rear chassis and sills before purchase, as structural rust can be costly or terminal. The same test showed a failed near-side rear brake cable and insecure items, so confirm any prior repairs were carried out properly rather than temporarily. Negotiate firmly on price: with nearly 249,000 miles and recurring suspension advisories, this is a high-wear example of the 2.3-litre diesel Master and should be valued as a budget workhorse only.
As a 2298cc diesel van first registered in April 2011, this Master will fall into a higher VED band for commercial vehicles and likely an elevated insurance group due to size and mileage. Diesel economy on a Master of this era is reasonable for a large van, but at 248,938 miles expect increased maintenance spend on steering, suspension and brakes as flagged in the 2024 MOT. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep is around £2,200-£2,800 given the mileage and wear pattern.
Check the offside rear sill and suspension mounting area closely, as the 2022 MOT recorded excessive corrosion significantly reducing structural strength in that prescribed area. Inspect all anti-roll bar linkages and lower suspension arm ball joints, since the 2024 test noted slight play at the near-side front and offside rear plus play in the steering rack inner joint. Verify rear brake discs and pipes: the 2022 pass noted corroded rear brake pipe and the 2024 pass warned of worn but not excessive rear discs, so confirm they remain within limits.
This white 2011 Renault Master diesel (DK11AJY) has covered 248,938 miles as of its August 2024 MOT, well above typical use for a 15-year-old light commercial. The history shows one failed test in 2022 for serious issues including offside rear sill corrosion reducing structural strength, plus various steering, brake and lighting defects. Recent passes note progressive wear in ball joints, steering rack and brake discs that will need monitoring.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Master, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of DK11AJY.
