RENAULT TRAFIC2016 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently in a stable condition regarding its MOT history, having passed its most recent test on 25 February 2025 at 158,835 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. This lack of flagged issues suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies basic legal roadworthiness requirements. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging nearly 16,000 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 136,124 miles and the February 2025 test at 158,835 miles, the vehicle covered 22,711 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the van has been used heavily for commercial or long-distance purposes, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the absence of advisories on a high-mileage Renault Trafic is unusual. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as testers sometimes overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade under this level of usage. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements. The MOT record only confirms the vehicle meets minimum safety standards and does not reflect the internal health of the engine or the state of the brake discs and pads. Given the mileage, checking for clutch slip and gearbox smoothness is essential to ensure the drivetrain has not been overstressed.
