2010 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · BD59 CWJ

The Renault Master’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-19 passed without defects, confirming current roadworthiness. However, the preceding test on 2025-05-12 failed—though no specific faults were recorded—suggesting either a procedural error or a last-minute correction before the final inspection. The pattern over the past four years remains stable, with no recurring advisories or defects beyond standard consumables. The 2022 test occurred earlier than usual, but the consistent annual testing since then indicates at least basic compliance with MOT intervals. At 129,756 miles over 16 years, the vehicle’s mileage averages around 8,100 miles annually, which is typical for its age. There are no obvious gaps in service intervals, though the 2025 failure—despite passing the subsequent test—warries scrutiny of whether the vehicle was driven between tests or if minor issues were overlooked. The lack of advisories in prior tests suggests no chronic problems with suspension, brakes, or emissions, but the 2025 anomaly raises caution about whether all components were thoroughly checked. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven wear on brake discs could indicate past neglect, though the MOT history does not reveal any explicit failures in this area. Structural corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, should be examined closely, as these are common failure points for a vehicle of this vintage. The absence of advisories on emissions suggests the engine and exhaust remain functional, but a smoke test and leak checks would provide further reassurance. Finally, the tyres—though not recorded in the MOT—should be inspected for uneven wear or excessive tread depth, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent.
