2007 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · PN57 AED

The Renault Master’s most recent MOT test on 2025-04-28—just under a year ago—shows a clean pass with no defects recorded, though it is unusual to have both a pass and a fail entry for the same date and mileage. This suggests either an administrative duplication or a rare case of a vehicle passing inspection despite minor oversights not captured in the official record. The preceding test in May 2024 also passed without failings, indicating a stable maintenance pattern over the past two years. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues in the MOT history, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 69,816 miles over nearly 19 years equates to an average of around 3,675 miles annually, which is unusually low for a commercial van of this age. The gap between tests—approximately 12 months between 2024 and 2025—aligns with the legal requirement, but the consistency in mileage suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or light use. Notably, there are no large jumps in mileage between tests, which could indicate either careful monitoring or neglect of regular servicing. The absence of mileage spikes also means less wear on high-use components, but it does not rule out deferred maintenance, such as fluid changes or minor repairs that might have been skipped. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are common failure points in vans of this age. The brakes—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even though no failings were recorded. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arches, warrants scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be examined for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are not always flagged in MOT tests but can indicate deeper engine or drivetrain issues. The lack of advisories in past tests does not guarantee current reliability, so a thorough mechanical assessment is essential.
