1993 Renault Trafic 1.7L Petrol · K918 LUF

The 2025‑12‑30 MOT at 71,265 miles records a failure, rendering the 1993 Renault Trafic not roadworthy. The record shows a clear worsening trend, with repeated structural corrosion, persistent brake binding and recurring exhaust faults across multiple tests, indicating that previous owners have not addressed these serious issues. Mileage has risen from 69,645 miles in April 2017 to 71,265 miles in December 2025, an increase of 1,620 miles over eight years, averaging just over 200 miles per year; however the jump from 70,808 miles in December 2023 to 71,137 miles in April 2025 shows a rapid accumulation of 329 miles in four months, suggesting recent increased use. Recurring faults include severe corrosion of suspension mounting points, sills and integral body structures, persistent front wheel bearing roughness, binding front and rear brakes, major exhaust gas leaks and carbon monoxide exceedances, deteriorated constant‑velocity joint boots, and repeated rear brake imbalance. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the corroded suspension mounting points and structural sills, test the front wheel bearing for play, verify that the brakes move freely without binding, examine the exhaust system for leaks and proper Lambda and CO readings, check the CV joint boots for integrity, assess the rear brake balance, and confirm that all lamps and the headlamp aim meet the required standards.
