2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · T88 HBL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 September 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend appears to be improving. Between 2021 and early 2024, there was a recurring pattern of advisories relating to brake pad wear and tyre tread depth, but the clean result of the latest inspection suggests that these consumable items have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state. With a recorded mileage of 69,996 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,777 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a light commercial vehicle of this age. This moderate mileage suggests that while the drivetrain and engine should not be excessively worn, the vehicle has seen enough regular use to avoid the common pitfalls of long-term standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals, though standard wear on suspension components remains a factor. A key point for inspection is the history of tyres being worn on the edges. This often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and tracking issues. During a test drive, the buyer should ensure the vehicle does not pull to one side under acceleration or braking and check for any uneven wear on the current set of tyres. Additionally, given the repeated advisories for thin brake pads across both axles, it is essential to verify via service records that the pads and discs have been replaced recently rather than simply worn down to the legal limit. Prospective buyers should also scrutinise the service history, particularly noting a recorded service light on the dashboard in January 2021. It is vital to confirm that the oil change and filter intervals have been strictly adhered to, as these engines rely heavily on clean lubrication for longevity. A physical inspection should include checking for oil leaks around the engine bay and ensuring the 12V battery is healthy, as well as verifying that the brake pedal feel is firm and devoid of any sponginess which could indicate degraded brake fluid.
