2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · NX16 ATK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 31,002 miles recorded no defects, indicating the vehicle was in a compliant state at that time. This follows a brief period of instability in November 2024, when the vehicle initially failed due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) before passing later that same day. Since resolving that electronic fault, the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical or structural issues. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, slow climb from 8,783 miles in March 2019 to the current 31,002 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and suspension, the long intervals between significant mileage increases can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as rubber perishability. The November 2023 test at 21,686 miles highlighted this, as the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres for cracking and perishing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and fluids. Although the tyres were noted as perishing in 2023, the lack of recent advisories suggests they may have been replaced, but the condition of all other perished items like wiper blades, engine mounts, and various hoses should be verified. Given the low annual mileage, checking for signs of fluid degradation or battery health is prudent. The electronic fault regarding the MIL in November 2024 should be confirmed as fully rectified by ensuring all dashboard warning lights function correctly during a test drive.
