2011 Renault Trucks Premium D 24CPD4 10.8L Diesel · LK61 AHG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 18 March 2026 at 414,415 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy without any recorded defects or advisories. This consistency across five consecutive tests—spanning from January 2022 to March 2026—indicates no recurring mechanical failures or safety-critical issues. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the tester did not identify any binding calipers, excessive corrosion compromising structural integrity, or failing suspension bushes that would warrant further investigation. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; a thorough inspection remains essential. The recorded mileage of 414,415 miles over 15 years equates to an average of approximately 27,600 miles annually, which is unusually high for a commercial vehicle of this age. The most rapid accumulation occurred between the January 2023 (368,397 miles) and January 2024 (385,302 miles) tests, covering 16,905 miles in just over a year—a rate that suggests either heavy operational use or prolonged periods of active service. The intervals between tests are standard, with each MOT occurring within the required 12-month window, but the sustained high mileage implies accelerated wear on drivetrain components, suspension, and brake systems. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of fatigue or dry rot. The brakes, including rear calipers and front discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage often correlates with reduced friction material thickness or warped rotors. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust mounts, warrants attention, especially if the vehicle has operated in wet or salted environments. While the MOT record shows no failures, the absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas have been maintained—visual confirmation is critical. Engine bay fluids should also be inspected for leaks or contamination, as commercial vehicles subjected to heavy loads may experience accelerated wear in seals and gaskets.
