2005 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · GJ55 ABN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 17 April 2025 recording a pass at 85 285 miles with no defects. The preceding history shows two isolated failures, each immediately retested and passed on the following day, indicating that any issues were minor and resolved without lasting impact. This pattern suggests a stable maintenance regime rather than a deteriorating condition. Mileage accumulation over the recorded period is modest: from 81 819 miles in mid‑May 2023 to 85 285 miles in April 2025, a rise of roughly 3 500 miles in about two years. That equates to an average of 1 750 miles per year, well below the typical 4 000‑plus miles per year for a vehicle of this age. The testing intervals are consistent at roughly eleven months, providing a reliable snapshot of condition without significant gaps. A buyer should pay particular attention to the braking system, given the two recent failures despite no recorded defects; inspect pads, discs, calipers and ensure no binding or corrosion. The suspension components—bushings, coil springs and trailing arms—deserve close examination for wear, as age can degrade ride quality and handling. Check tyre tread depth and even wear, as low mileage does not guarantee good tyre condition. A visual inspection for body corrosion, especially around wheel arches and underfloor panels, will reveal any structural integrity concerns. Finally, verify exhaust emissions and the condition of the battery and associated cables, as these are common failure points on older vans.
