2007 RENAULT TRAFIC2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 167,903 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle was cleared for road use following that inspection. However, the trend of failing immediately before a re-test in the previous two years indicates that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by the MOT testing process rather than servicing components before they fail. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 167,903 averages to approximately 8,837 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this era. The data shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, with roughly 9,500 miles covered between February 2023 and March 2024, and another 3,500 miles covered between March 2024 and May 2025. The lack of long stationary periods suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and brake components despite the high-mileage age of the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the record shows repeated failures just prior to successful passes. Given the age of the Renault Trafic, structural integrity is the priority, specifically looking for deep corrosion on the subframe and mounting points where rust is common. The inspector should also check for signs of perished suspension bushes and worn-out brake calipers, as the maintenance history suggests these mechanical components are pushed to the limit of their functional life before being replaced.
