2018 RENAULT MASTER2.3L Diesel

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on May 19, 2026 at 158,231 miles passed with only a minor discolouration defect on a side repeater. This represents an improvement compared to the previous three years where multiple mechanical advisories were consistently flagged. However, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests that components are often only addressed when they approach the failure threshold. The mileage profile is high for an eight-year-old van, averaging nearly 20,000 miles per year. While the vehicle showed clean records between 2021 and 2022, the usage accelerated significantly thereafter. Between the May 2023 test at 71,260 miles and the May 2026 test at 158,231 miles, the vehicle covered over 87,000 miles in just three years. This rapid accumulation typically places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which is reflected in the frequent defects noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The history shows thinning rear brake pads at 131,007 miles and recurring tyre wear and perishing issues, suggesting the high-mileage cycles may have stressed the components under heavy loads. The repeated defects regarding windscreen damage and headlamp lenses across multiple years indicate a lack of attention to minor non-safety-critical items. Given the high mileage, a specific check for structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushings is vital, as these are the primary points of failure for this model under heavy-use conditions.
