2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MA16 ACX

The vehicle is currently in a stable condition regarding its MOT history, having passed its most recent test on 17 December 2024 at 120,353 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed on 16 December 2024 and 24 November 2022, both failures were resolved within a single day, suggesting minor administrative or quick-fix issues rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,035 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2024, the odometer rose from 99,402 to 120,353 miles, confirming a steady usage pattern of approximately 10,500 miles annually over the last two years. This level of use typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. Despite the clean MOT sheets, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-stress areas. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade on high-mileage vans without appearing as MOT failures until they reach a critical state. Checking for any signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody is also essential, as the MOT record does not provide detailed advisory notes on early-stage rust. The absence of brake or tyre advisories in the recent history is positive, but the high mileage suggests the vehicle is likely due for a replacement of consumables. Inspecting the brake discs for lip wear and checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is critical, as these intervals are based on mileage and age rather than MOT test outcomes.
