RENAULT MASTER2016 · 2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening wear on high-mileage components. While the most recent test in March 2023 passed, it followed a failure involving multiple critical safety items, including brake-related defects and wiper failures. The presence of corroded enough pipes covered in grease suggests that while repairs are being made to pass inspections, the vehicle is subject to significant environmental degradation that requires constant monitoring. The mileage pattern is exceptionally high, averaging approximately 24,500 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. There was a notable accumulation of mileage between March 2021 and March 2022, where the vehicle covered nearly 39,000 miles in just enough months. Between 2022 and early 2023, it added another 27,500 miles. This rapid usage indicates heavy strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to a standard commercial vehicleprofile. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and suspension systems, as previous tests have flagged excessive free play in the steering rack and worn brake discs. The recurring issues with brake pipe corrosion and anti-slip provisions indicate that the braking system is under high stress. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity and rust levels on the chassis, as the high mileage and noted corrosion on pipes often accompany the deterioration of rubber seals and metal components in vans of this age.
