2011 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · G6 XME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-06-11, but the maintenance trend shows a gradual worsening in recent years. While the 2023 test was defect-free, the 2024 and 2025 results highlight recurring issues with tyre wear and brake components, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained to a consistently high standard. The nearside front tyre was close to the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025, and front brake pads were noted as thin in both tests, suggesting ongoing wear without timely replacement. The suspension arm bushing issue from 2024 remains unresolved, which could affect handling and ride comfort over time. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 10,700 miles per year over its 15-year lifespan, a rate that is typical for commercial or high-use vans. Mileage increased from 136,760 in June 2022 to 151,497 in June 2024, and then to 160,465 in June 2025, showing consistent usage with no significant gaps in MOT testing. This steady accumulation suggests regular operation, likely in a work or delivery context, rather than long-term storage. However, the lack of a clean MOT history beyond 2023 implies that minor issues have been deferred, which may compound into larger problems if not addressed. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension components, particularly the nearside front suspension arm and associated bushes, as this was flagged in 2024 and could indicate wear that affects alignment and safety. The thin front brake pads and consistently worn front tyres point to potential brake system issues and uneven wear patterns that may stem from underlying suspension faults. Additionally, the rear suspension and brake components should be examined, especially given the recurring mention of rear tyre wear and the possibility of brake caliper binding or uneven pad wear. A detailed check of the exhaust system and structural integrity is also advised, as older vans of this age often develop corrosion in the underbody and rear sections.
