RENAULT TRAFIC2018 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of pass certificates. The most recent inspection on 22 September 2025 at 17,938 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This record indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with the single failure recorded on 13 September 2023 at 12,133 miles appearing to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, given that a successful retest was completed just four days later with no recorded faults. The annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably low for an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 2,240 miles per year. The progression is linear, moving from 8,888 miles in August 2022 to the current recorded figure of 17,938 miles. This low usage pattern suggests the van has likely served as a light-duty or private vehicle rather than a high-intensity workhorse. While the lack of recorded defects is positive, prospective buyers should be aware that extended periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to issues such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, or battery degradation that may not be captured during a standard MOT test. Physical inspection should focus on components prone to deterioration through disuse rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from oxidation due to infrequent operation. Check the condition of all suspension bushes and gaiters, as rubber components can become brittle over time regardless of the low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking or age-related hardening. The clean MOT history provides a strong baseline, but a thorough check of the service history is recommended to confirm that engine oil and coolant changes have been performed according to time-based intervals rather than just mileage milestones.
