2011 Renault Traffic sl29 Dci 115 2.0L Diesel · J26 MAO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-20 at 218,739 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2025-12-14 at 218,318 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential procedural issue or unrecorded anomaly. The lack of specific mechanical findings in both tests limits definitive conclusions about ongoing issues, but the high mileage and recent testing frequency imply the vehicle has been driven consistently in its final years. The recorded mileage of 218,739 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 14,583 miles annually, significantly above the UK’s typical usage for this age. The MOTs span just six days, with a minimal 421-mile increase between tests, which may reflect short-term usage or a gap in data. This pattern suggests the vehicle’s final 15 months were driven sparingly, though the overall high mileage raises concerns about wear on consumables, suspension, and drivetrain components. The absence of historical defects in the record does not confirm maintenance quality, as the dataset is sparse. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common issues in older vans, and check for corrosion in the chassis or body panels. The high mileage warrants scrutiny of brake components, including binding calipers and uneven brake disc wear, as well as the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration. While the MOTs show no immediate faults, the vehicle’s age and usage history necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the integrity of critical mechanical and structural elements.
