2012 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · AY61 HBK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 119,378 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just six days prior. This failure identified a serious leak in the offside front shock absorber and corroded nearside rear brake pipes. The persistence of minor lighting issues and oil leaks across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses the minimum requirements to pass the MOT test rather than resolving underlying mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with 1,615 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 1,228 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle is not subjected to heavy daily cycles, which explains the age-related wear on rubber components such as the perished tyres and wipers noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The record shows recurring binding on both front and rear service brakes as of early 2024, alongside pitted front brake discs. The presence of corroded nearside rear brake pipes in early 2026 indicates that oxidation is affecting the hydraulic lines, which requires close monitoring to prevent a sudden-pressure failure. Furthermore, the non-excessive oil leak flagged in the February 2026 test needs tracing to its source to determine if it is a simple gasket seal or a more significant engine issue that will worsen over time.
