2013 Renault Master LM35 DCI 125 2.3L Gas bi-fuel · HX63 XHH

The Renault Master’s most recent MOT test on 19 November 2024 at 94,465 miles passed without any defects, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The absence of advisories or recurring failures in the last three tests suggests a stable maintenance history, though the single failure in October 2022—without recorded defects—implies either a minor oversight or a test anomaly. The lack of repeated issues on brakes, suspension, or emissions over this period does not indicate a worsening trend, but the 2022 failure does warrant scrutiny of components that might have been overlooked or replaced since then. The vehicle’s mileage progression of roughly 7,267 miles annually aligns with typical usage for its age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The gap between the 2022 failure and subsequent pass (just three days apart) is unusual and may reflect a retest after an initial minor issue, though no details are provided. The most recent MOT, just over eight months ago, remains valid, but the 2026 test date is approaching, and buyers should verify whether any servicing or component replacements (such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust systems) have been documented outside MOT records. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, particularly at the rear where binding brakes were flagged in the 2022 failure. The drivetrain, including transfer case seals and differential fluid condition, should be checked for leaks or contamination, as these are not MOT-checked but critical for longevity. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and subframes—common in this model—must be examined closely, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or coastal environments. Finally, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust system should be inspected for soot buildup or blockages, as emissions-related failures are not always captured in MOT reports.
