2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · AY66 CGK

The 2016 Renault Master with 138,746 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2026-02-10 passed without defects. However, the vehicle failed two consecutive tests in February 2026 and February 2025, both at identical mileages (138,735 and 124,671 miles respectively), though no specific defects were recorded. This pattern suggests potential issues with test compliance or unresolved minor faults, but the latest pass indicates corrective action was taken. No structural or mechanical failures were flagged in the recorded history, which is reassuring but does not confirm long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 138,746 miles at 10 years old equates to an average of 13,875 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. A 14,000-mile jump between the 2024-01-23 test (110,266 miles) and 2025-02-06 test (124,671 miles) highlights rapid accumulation, likely reflecting heavy usage. This could accelerate wear on suspension components, brake systems, and drivetrain elements. The absence of defect reports for these periods does not rule out underlying issues, particularly given the high mileage and the recurring test failures without explanation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which may degrade under sustained high-mileage stress. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as these are common failure points in older, heavily used vehicles. Corrosion, particularly in body panels or undercarriage areas, warrants scrutiny, as high mileage often correlates with exposure to harsh conditions. While the MOT history lacks specific fault details, the vehicle’s usage pattern and test inconsistencies necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
