RENAULT MASTER2002 · 2.2L DIESEL

The roadworthiness status of this Renault Master is currently compromised following a failure in the May 2024 test at 131,688 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years prior, the most recent result indicates a mechanical or structural defect that prevented it from obtaining a valid certificate. The maintenance trend appears stable between 2020 and 2023, but the recent failure suggests that the vehicle has now entered a phase where component degradation requires immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 5,487 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between November 2021 and April 2023, where the vehicle covered only 1,984 miles in over seventeen months. Conversely, the vehicle covered 5,565 miles in the thirteen months between the 2023 and May 2024 tests. This erratic pattern of intermittent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, and can cause brake corrosion despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must investigate the specific cause of the 2024 failure, as the record provides no defect codes for that test. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically the chassis rails and sills where rust is common on older Masters. The buyer should also check for seized brake calipers or perished brake lines resulting from the long periods of standing, as well as the condition of the suspension components which may have suffered from age-related wear rather than high mileage.
