2012 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · T29 PGB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 April 2025 at 84,602 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect results across the last five inspections indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively and addressed potential issues before they triggered a failure. The mechanical trend remains exceptionally stable. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between December 2020 at 52,306 miles and April 2025 at 84,602 miles, the vehicle covered 32,296 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There are no significant gaps in the records that suggest long periods of stagnation which often lead to seal degradation or brake corrosion. The low mileage relative to the year suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to the heavy stress typically associated with high-mileage transit vans. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Given the 14-year age of the Renault, the buyer should inspect for structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points, as MOT tests only flag significant rust once present. One should also check the condition of rubber components like suspension bushes and boots for cracking, which can perish over time regardless of the miles driven. The lack of advisories suggests the brakes and tyres are in good condition, but a check for caliper binding or disc pitting remains standard professional precaution.
