2010 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · YJ10 AOT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-24 at 127,678 miles showed a pass with no defects, but this followed a failed test on 2025-03-15 at the same mileage, also with no recorded defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or technical issues during testing. Previous tests in 2024 and 2022 similarly showed passes with no defects, indicating a generally stable maintenance record. However, the repeated failures without recorded issues raise questions about the reliability of the MOT outcomes for this vehicle. The mileage of 127,678 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 7,980 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2022 test at 119,649 miles and the 2024 tests at 123,688–123,689 miles indicate steady mileage accumulation. The final 4,000 miles to 2025-03-24 were covered in 14 months, reflecting normal usage without prolonged inactivity. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to potential wear from consistent use. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked for corrosion or fatigue, as these are common issues in 16-year-old vans. While MOT records show no defects, the repeated failed tests without explanations suggest the need for a thorough independent mechanical inspection before purchase.
