RENAULT TRUCKS T2021 · 12.8L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 15 September 2023 at 298,312 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that as of that date, the mechanical and structural, and safety-related components met the minimum requirements despite the extreme usage placed on the machinery. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a vehicle approximately five years old. Between the 16 September 2022 test at 114,818 miles and the September 2023 test at 298,312 miles, the car covered 183,494 miles in a single year. This rate of nearly 200,000 miles per annum suggests heavy commercial or long-distance use. Such intensity places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension geometry, and braking system compared to average private use. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components that fail rapidly under high mileage. Focus on the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or perished rubber degradation. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the thermal cycles from such high mileage often accelerate component wear. Given the gap since the last recorded test, verifying the current state of fluid leaks and structural integrity is essential.
