2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · AJ67 FTD

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 September 2025 at 157,027 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in January 2025 and January 2024 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects under official inspection. Mileage stands at 157,027 miles for an eight-year-old van, averaging roughly 19,628 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained commercial-style use. The records show steep accumulation: 89,515 miles at the January 2023 test, jumping to 119,834 by January 2024, then 145,834 by January 2025, and 157,027 by September 2025. The sparse history with only five entries and no flagged wear means the data gives limited insight into consumable replacement cycles, though the clean passes suggest basic statutory upkeep was met. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and likely load-bearing van duties. The January 2025 duplicate entry showing a fail at 145,832 miles immediately followed by a pass at 145,834 miles with no defects listed suggests an administrative or pre-check anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, but the tester should confirm no hidden correction occurred. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions have drawn no corrosion or emission flags in any test, yet standing moisture exposure on a high-mileage Trafic can still breed chassis rust unseen at MOT level. Prior owners cleared every test without advisories, implying either disciplined servicing or superficial presentation; physical checks of underbody condition and drivetrain noise remain prudent before purchase.
