2004 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · YA53 AAY

The vehicle currently holds a valid and clean MOT pass from 7 May 2025 at 105,404 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. Across all five tests from 25 March 2022 to 7 May 2025, not a single fault or advisory has been logged, which indicates a stable and consistently maintained condition. The DVSA record shows no recurring mechanical issues, no structural warnings, and no brake or suspension concerns flagged at any recent inspection. The mileage pattern is modest for a 2004 vehicle, averaging roughly 4,791 miles per year. The recorded increases are steady, with a 3,107-mile gain between March 2022 and February 2023, a 2,710-mile gain to April 2024, and a 4,153-mile gain to May 2025. That reflects light, regular use rather than hard commercial duty or long periods of standing, though the 14-month gap between the February 2023 pass and the April 2024 failure is worth noting only for its unusual duration, not for any mileage spike. Given that the Ministry records are completely clear, the absence of advisories across all tests suggests a history of conscientious upkeep. However, a clean test sheet cannot reveal unseen wear on a 22-year-old light commercial vehicle. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the underbody and sills for corrosion and check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers, as these are typical ageing points on a Trafic of this era. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for binding or lip wear, and the exhaust system examined for corrosion, particularly if the van has stood idle for any length of time between annual tests. The MOT record gives no cause for concern; the value lies in confirming the body and running gear match that same standard.
