Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to exceptionally high mileage for the vehicle's age. While it has passed its MOT, the usage pattern suggests heavy commercial use which may indicate significant mechanical wear.
The priority here is a comprehensive and documented service history. With over 230,000 km on the clock, standard service intervals may be insufficient; look for evidence of preventative maintenance and a more frequent schedule. Given the mileage, you should also ask if the turbocharger, clutch, and suspension components have been replaced, as these are typically nearing the end of their lifespan at this stage.
Negotiate heavily on the price. A vehicle with this mileage has a significantly lower resale value than a low-mileage equivalent, regardless of its condition. Ensure the timing belt (if applicable) has been inspected or replaced according to manufacturer specifications, as failure at this mileage would be catastrophic for the engine.
As a Euro VI-E diesel, fuel economy should be respectable for long-distance driving, but maintenance costs will likely be higher than average due to accelerated wear and tear. Insurance and tax will depend on the specific power output, but buyers should budget for more frequent repairs and component replacements.
Expect an annual running cost of approximately £2,500-£3,500, which accounts for fuel, high-frequency maintenance, and the increased likelihood of unexpected mechanical issues associated with high-mileage diesel engines.
Pay close attention to signs of heavy use, such as wear on seat bolsters, pedals, and steering wheel de-gluing. Check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks or weeping, as high-mileage diesel engines put significant stress on gaskets and cooling systems.
The 2024 MOT noted an advisory regarding a missing registration plate, which is a minor administrative issue but suggests a potential lack of attention to detail by previous owners. Conduct a thorough test drive to listen for suspension knocks, turbo whine, or gearbox hesitation, which are common failure points on vehicles that have covered such vast distances quickly.
This 2023 Renault T is an outlier, having covered nearly 240,000 km in just under three years. While it passed its most recent MOT in August 2025, the sheer mileage is far above the UK average for a car of this age. The vehicle is a Euro VI-E diesel, suggesting it was likely used for long-distance motorway work or fleet operations.
No aggregate data is available for the specific Renault T model to determine typical reliability trends.
