2026 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · AE17 ALS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 November 2025 at 95,205 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing subsequent tests after initial failures, suggesting that faults are addressed promptly once identified. The mileage is high for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,601 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between November 2023 and November 2024, where the odometer rose from 58,087 to 78,070 miles. A further 17,135 miles were covered in the year leading up to the November 2025 test. This high-intensity usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the absence of any mentions of tyre wear, brake disc thinning, or suspension play over 37,000 miles is atypical for a high-mileage commercial van. A buyer should manually inspect the brake pads and discs for wear and check the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers. Priority should be given to checking for underside corrosion and the state of the exhaust system. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the clutch bite point and gearbox synchronisation is recommended to ensure the drivetrain has not been overstressed by the rapid accumulation of miles.
