2014 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · AF14 VRJ

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 67,360 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 14 June 2023 at 60,261 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, which points to an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the record. Annual mileage averages around 5,600 miles against the vehicle's 2014 build, confirming light use for a commercial van of this type. The record jumps from 56,118 miles at the April 2022 test to 60,261 miles by June 2023, a modest 4,143 miles over fourteen months, then rises steadily to 64,800 miles in June 2024 and 67,360 miles in June 2025. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps emerge. The clean sheet across five years suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though absence of advisories means wear was either minimal or not yet threshold-flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of load-bearing suspension components and subframe corrosion, as the Trafic of this era is prone to rear spring and chassis rust that a pass with no advisories will not reveal. Check brake caliper operation and disc condition despite the clean record, since low annual mileage allows components to seize through disuse. Verify the 14 June 2023 fail-to-pass sequence with DVLA paperwork to confirm it was clerical and not a suppressed defect. Given the sparse but consistent history, the van shows no worsening mechanical trend. The low mileage and repeated clean tests imply careful, possibly infrequent use rather than neglected fleet operation. A pre-purchase check of underside structural integrity remains the only prudent caveat.
