2014 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · A23 OAL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass from 18 November 2025 at 110,754 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Both the November 2025 failure and the November 2024 failure were followed by clean passes within a few days, which suggests the testers flagged minor issues that were rectified quickly rather than pointing to deepening mechanical trouble. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 9,230 miles per year, which is typical for a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle. Between the November 2023 test at 93,655 miles and the November 2024 test at 104,273 miles, the van covered around 10,600 miles. The following year saw lighter use, with only about 6,480 miles logged before the November 2025 pass. That recent slowdown points to less demanding service rather than long periods of inactivity, and the recorded figures show no abrupt jumps or signs of clock tampering. The clean advisory history is encouraging, but a decade-old Renault Trafic still deserves a hands-on check before purchase. Examine the brake discs and pads for lipping and uneven wear, and listen for binding calipers on a test drive. Suspension bushes and coil springs on these vans take a beating under load, so look for perished rubber and any knocking from the front end. Corrosion is the other concern at this age; inspect the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points for rust, particularly if the van has carried heavy loads throughout its working life. Tyre condition and wiper blades remain simple consumables, but the absence of any structural advisories across three consecutive tests gives reasonable confidence in the underlying bodywork.
