Our Verdict
This 2016 Renault Master shows mixed reliability signals. While the most recent MOT is clean, recurring suspension and drive shaft issues from 2023-2025 raise concerns about long-term maintenance costs.
Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection of the front suspension arms and CV joints. Request full service records to verify if bush wear was addressed. Be prepared to negotiate 10-15% below market value given the repair history. Check for any outstanding manufacturer recalls specific to 2016 Master models. Avoid if you lack mechanical expertise to monitor recurring suspension issues.
Diesel variants of the Renault Master typically achieve 35-40 mpg. Tax is £2,500 for first registration (VED band K). Insurance groups for commercial vans vary but tend to be mid-range. Major repairs like suspension arm replacements could cost £300-£500 each. Estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,500 including maintenance.
Focus on front suspension components for bush wear, checking for play in the suspension arms. Inspect CV boots for splits or dirt ingress. Test drive for unusual vibrations or noises from the front axle. Verify that all MOT failures were repaired by reviewing service invoices. Check brake system condition given the vehicle's heavy usage profile.
The vehicle has high mileage (170,000-173,000 miles) for its age, with repeated suspension bush wear and a critical CV boot failure in 2023. Recent MOTs show improvement, but underlying mechanical wear remains a risk. No aggregate reliability data exists for the Master model.
No aggregate MOT data available for Renault Master models to assess broader reliability trends.
