2005 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · SE54 AWN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-01 at 164,515 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. The single 2023 failure at 161,856 miles recorded no defects, which may reflect a procedural error or a minor non-critical issue resolved before retesting. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the last three years implies the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage of 164,515 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,834 miles over 21 years, consistent with typical light commercial vehicle operation. A minor fluctuation occurred between 2022-05-14 (159,630 miles) and 2023-05-11 (161,856 miles), suggesting a 2,226-mile increase over 12 months, which is within normal parameters. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, though the sparse data from 2023-05-11 (no defects recorded) warrants cautious scrutiny. The MOT history lacks detailed technical findings, limiting deeper analysis of specific component wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in vehicles of this age, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which could affect stopping performance. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, should be assessed, as older vans are prone to rust in high-moisture environments. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the integrity of key systems and identify any latent issues not captured in the test data.
