Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 120,037 miles showed a failure due to lighting issues and headlamp misalignment alongside a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot. While the vehicle passed immediately after repairs, the recurring CV boot issues—dating back to 2024 and 2025—suggest the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure. At 120,037 miles over nine years, this Renault Master has averaged approximately 13,300 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial use. The mileage accumulation is steady, with a significant jump of nearly 14,000 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 12,000 miles between early 2024 and early 2025. This usage suggests the vehicle has been in a demanding work environment, which explains the accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, wipers, and suspension components noted throughout the record. A buyer must closely inspect the nearside front drive assembly, as the repeated failure of the CV boot indicates potential strain on the gearbox output or inner joint. The 2025 record also flagged uneven brake wear across the rear axle, which often points to a binding caliper or seized slide pins that requires professional mechanical attention. Given the recurring mention of low coolant levels in 2022 and 2025, a pressure test of the cooling system is essential to rule out a slow leak or head gasket issue that has been ignored by previous owners.
