2004 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · AD53 GZB

The Renault Master currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 56,877 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the cause undocumented by the DVLA data. Prior to that, the van held a stable pass trend across three consecutive annual tests, so the latest result breaks an otherwise clean record and warrants direct clarification from the testing station or seller. Recorded mileage stays low for a 2004 vehicle. The tests show 49,310 miles on 8 February 2023, 53,858 on 5 March 2024, 55,916 on 19 March 2025, and 56,877 on 11 February 2026. That equates to roughly 2,500 miles per year, with only 961 miles added in the final twelve months. A failed test on 7 February 2023 at identical mileage preceded the pass one day later, suggesting a same-day rectification rather than a recurring fault. The sparse history shows no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's twenty-two years, as MOT silence does not confirm absence of age-related degradation. The undocumented February 2026 failure must be resolved and evidenced before purchase. Given the low annual use, prolonged standing periods are likely. Check for perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and binding calipers that static storage promotes. Confirm the current clear MOT status and obtain the failure sheet for the February 2026 test to establish what defect triggered the rejection.
