Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The primary concern with this vehicle is the contradiction between its low mileage and the presence of corrosion. You should investigate why a vehicle with only 22,906 miles has suffered from brake pipe leaks and corrosion; this often suggests the vehicle has been stationary for long periods in a damp environment. Ensure you see a full service history, as oil and fluids degrade over time regardless of mileage, and a vehicle that has sat idle may require a comprehensive fluid flush.
Negotiate the price based on the potential for further underbody corrosion. Given the recent advisories regarding the suspension bracket and headlamp lenses, ensure these are addressed or factored into your offer. A professional pre-purchase inspection focusing on the chassis and braking system is strongly recommended.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Trafic will have moderate fuel costs, though efficiency will depend on load and usage. Being a 2012 model, it will fall into an older tax bracket which may be more expensive than newer Euro 6 compliant vans. Insurance groups for the Trafic are generally mid-range for commercial vehicles.
Typical maintenance for this engine size includes regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, which are critical regardless of the low mileage. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are likely to be in the region of £1,200-£1,600.
Carefully inspect the brake pipes from front to rear, as the 2025 MOT records specifically highlight corrosion and a burst pipe on the offside. Check the nearside rear suspension mounting area for the damage to the bush bracket mentioned in the August 2026 MOT.
Additionally, examine the windscreen for the damage noted in 2025 and check the headlamp lenses for the 'product' mentioned in the 2026 report. Finally, perform a thorough check of the underbody for surface rust, which would correlate with the brake pipe issues seen in the history.
This white 2012 Renault Trafic has recorded very low mileage of 22,906 miles as of August 2026. However, the MOT history shows a pattern of corrosion, including a brake pipe leak and failure in April 2025 and subsequent advisories for corroded brake pipes in August 2025. The most recent test in August 2026 also noted damage to a nearside rear suspension bush bracket.
