2018 RENAULT MASTER2.3L Diesel

The Renault Master presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 September 2025 at 90,599 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects listed at that test. Prior to this, the same-day failure on 4 September 2025 at identical mileage and the same pattern in 2024 suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as no defects were recorded on either failure. Mileage progression stays consistent with typical light commercial use. The record shows 64,829 miles at the August 2023 test, rising to 78,819 by September 2024 and 90,599 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles per year across the logged period, marginally above the 11,325 annual average for the vehicle's age. No standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes appear in the data, and the clean advisory list across all entries indicates no flagged consumable or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles at 78,819 and 90,599 miles warrant confirmation that no latent brake disc wear, suspension bush degradation, or underbody corrosion was overlooked during the cursory tests. Given the Master's steel ladder chassis and eight-year age, examine the sills, subframe mounts, and exhaust routing for structural rust not captured by the DVSA record. Verify the V5C and service book against the odometer readings, since the twin failure entries imply the van may have been presented without required documentation rather than for repair. The clean MOT trail gives no evidence of worsening mechanical condition, but absence of advisories on a high-mileage van of this type deserves hands-on verification of steering joints and coil springs.
