2010 RENAULT MASTER2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 5, 2026 at 212,599 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. A significant failure in February 2026 occurred just 23 miles prior to the pass, involving poor parking brake efficiency and a perished offside front tyre. This suggests the current owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced to by an MOT test failure, which can lead to accelerated component wear between service intervals. At 16 years old, this 2010 Master has averaged approximately 13,287 miles per year, indicating consistent heavy or long-distance use over its lifespan. The data shows a rapid burst of activity between January 2024 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered over 6,600 miles in just over two months. This high mileage profile places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the multiple mechanical failures recorded during this later period of its history. A buyer must focus inspection on the steering system, which has been flagged for free play since January 2024. While the play remained within legal limits in 2024, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests the steering rack is nearing end of life. The nearside front suspension also requires close attention after a heavily worn ball joint and a split CV boot were recorded in February 2025. These components should be checked for signs of grease leakage or excessive play to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive. The parking brake system remains a point of concern having failed efficiency requirements in both February 2025 and February 2026. Additionally, the history notes significant damage to the seat belt webbing, including a cut greater than 4mm. Given the age and high mileage of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points is essential, as these are common failure points for this model that are not always fully detailed in standard MOT records.
