RENAULT MASTER LM35 BUSINESS + DCI2020 · 2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 5, 2026, at 80,781 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed immediate failures to secure re-test passes. While the most recent test noted a central front child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt, the vehicle cleared all mechanical requirements in the previous year, suggesting that primary safety systems are being maintained to a passing standard. The mileage profile reflects consistent and heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per year over its six-year life. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 14,555 miles, followed by a significant increase of 17,968 miles in the year leading up to the June 2026 test. This acceleration in mileage indicates high annual utilization, which typically accelerates wear on heavy-duty components such as suspension bushes, bushings, and drivetrain assemblies compared to lower-mileage examples of the Master. A physical inspection should focus on the electrical and engine systems that previously failed. The failure in May 2024 at 48,258 miles due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp suggests past sensor or wiring harness issues that should be monitored for recurring faults. The nearside headlamp failure in June 2025 was a simple defect, but the buyer should check the bulb housing for moisture or corrosion. Given the high-use nature, the inspector must also verify the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion and inspect the condition of the coil springs, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Renault vans.
