RENAULT MASTER2008 · 2.5L DIESEL

The Renault Master passed its most recent MOT on 20 April 2026 at 51,068 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable and improving after a brief brake-related failure in early 2025. The April 2025 pass at 50,393 miles and the November 2023 pass at 48,727 miles show the vehicle has been brought back to a clean standard. The owner corrected the faults flagged one day apart in March 2025 before the retest, which suggests prompt attention to required repairs rather than deferred neglect. Recorded mileage sits at 51,068 miles against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 2,837 miles per year. The van covered only 1,467 miles between November 2022 and November 2023, then 1,663 miles to the March 2025 failure at 50,390 miles. Such low annual use implies long standing periods, which the November 2023 advisory for rear brake disc inner face corrosion supports. The MOT trail is sparse but clean outside the single 2025 failure, with no structural or emissions concerns raised across the five tests supplied. A buyer should still inspect the front brake calipers and pads in person despite the 2026 pass, given the March 2025 failure for offside front pads below 1.5 mm and the prior rear disc corrosion. The rear brake discs scored and pitted in 2025 and carried corrosion advice in 2023; check for ongoing inner-face rust, lip wear, and any binding from stalled use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts deserve a close look for age-related cracking or moisture damage from prolonged idle storage. The single failed test traced to consumable brake wear rather than structural weakness, and the tester passed the van clean within 24 hours of repair. Low mileage and a thin but consistent record point to light commercial or occasional use with adequate reactive maintenance. Verify service history and confirm the 2026 test reflected a genuine road test rather than a cursory check before purchase.
