RENAULT TRAFIC2016 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and maintains a stable mechanical trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 89,016 miles with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on 18 March 2026, the immediate pass the following day suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,902 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 73,906 miles and the March 2025 test at 82,353 miles shows a steady usage rate of approximately 8,447 miles over the year. A further 6,663 miles were added by the most recent test in March 2026, indicating the van has remained in regular use without prolonged periods of standing. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded advisories or recurring faults across the last three years. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc degradation. This lack of flagged defects suggests a disciplined approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for this model that may not trigger an MOT failure. Check the condition of the clutch and the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items not captured in a standard MOT record. Examine the underside for any surface rust on the chassis and verify the condition of the tyre treads to ensure they meet a professional standard beyond the legal minimum.
