2020 Renault Master LL35 Business DCI 2.3L Diesel · SV70 BPO

The Renault Master’s most recent MOT test on 18 November 2025—just six months ago—confirmed it passed without any defects, and the preceding two tests in November 2024 and December 2023 also recorded clean passes. This consistent pattern of zero advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, with no evidence of recurring mechanical issues during statutory inspections. However, the absence of defects does not preclude underlying wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT thresholds, particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which are not routinely checked under the current MOT regime. The recorded mileage of 10,008 miles at the time of the latest test indicates exceptionally low usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging just 1,668 miles annually. This could imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate degradation of fluids, seals, and rubber components. Notably, there are no gaps between tests that would suggest the vehicle was left untested for extended periods, but the slow mileage accumulation raises questions about whether critical services—such as brake fluid changes, differential maintenance, or suspension servicing—have been neglected. The lack of mileage progression also makes it difficult to assess whether wear items like tyres or brake pads have been replaced at appropriate intervals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle where binding or uneven wear is common in low-mileage vehicles. The absence of advisories does not rule out corrosion in wheel arches, subframes, or sills, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or glazing, as binding calipers can develop without causing immediate MOT failures. Finally, the engine bay and underbody should be examined for fluid leaks, as prolonged inactivity can lead to degraded hoses, seals, or coolant system integrity. Given the low mileage, a full service history would provide further clarity on whether consumables like timing belts or air filters have been replaced as recommended.
