2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · EU68 AEL

This Renault Trafic presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 January 2026 at 7,277 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 910 miles per year. Between 18 November 2022 and 12 December 2023, the odometer moved only 250 miles, from 4,000 to 4,250 miles. A more significant increase occurred between January 2025 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered 2,861 miles. This pattern indicates the van spent several years in near-stasis before returning to more regular use. Low mileage and long periods of inactivity introduce specific risks that an MOT cannot always detect. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system for binding calipers or pitted brake discs caused by moisture and standing. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, may have perished or developed flat spots despite the low tread wear. Check for signs of chassis corrosion or seized components that often affect vehicles with limited movement. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of recorded advisories over several years suggests a vehicle that has seen very little stress, but it requires a thorough check of all fluid levels and battery health to ensure it has not suffered from neglect during its dormant periods.
