2020 Renault Master LM35 Business DCI 2.3L Diesel · BD70 NMV

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 46,219 miles, the preceding failure just two weeks prior reveals significant mechanical and safety neglect. The trend shows a fluctuating pattern where the vehicle required multiple testing attempts to rectify critical faults in the braking system and steering components before finally achieving a pass. At 46,219 miles over six years, this Renault Master averages approximately 7,700 miles per annum, which is consistent with light to medium commercial use. However, the vehicle covered 5,200 miles between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests. This rapid accumulation in a short window suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent use, wearing out components that were only addressed when they failed the MOT inspection process. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front braking system and suspension geometry. The October 2025 failure flagged severe brake issues, including imbalanced efficiency across the axle, excessive fluctuations, and pitted offside discs. The presence of an offside front track rod end ball joint with excessive play and a loose lock nut indicates a genuine steering risk that was only recently addressed. You should verify that these steering components have been replaced with quality parts and that no vibration remains through the pedal or steering. The recurring issues with offside front tyres worn to the legal limit across 2024 and 2025 suggest a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the inoperative engine malfunction indicator light noted in 2025 is a serious concern for a diesel engine, as it can mask hidden engine faults. Ensure that the frayed offside front seat belt webbing noted in the final 2025 test was replaced, as this requires immediate attention to ensure the restraint functions correctly in an impact.
