2008 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · BG08 FUW

The 2008 Renault Trafic with 209,481 miles demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2025 at the same odometer reading with no defects recorded. The record shows a clean history across five tests spanning from September 2021 to June 2025, with the vehicle currently due for its next test by June 2026. The most recent result is recent enough to provide confidence in the vehicle's current roadworthiness, though the 13-month gap means a fresh inspection is approaching. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 11,600 miles per year over 18 years, which is typical for a commercial van of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing from September 2021 through October 2023, with the odometer climbing from 171,172 to 186,525 miles at a steady rate. The anomaly in October 2023, where the vehicle failed on the 9th and passed the next day at the same 186,525-mile reading with no defects recorded in either entry, suggests a minor rectification. A larger gap then follows until June 2025, during which the odometer climbed by 22,956 miles, indicating a period of heavier use before the most recent clean pass. With no structural or mechanical faults flagged in any test, the buyer should focus on high-mileage wear items that may not always trigger a fail. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering components should be checked for play and deterioration given the van's age and mileage. Brake discs and binding calipers require measurement, and the exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion and emissions performance, as these consumable and structural elements often degrade silently before reaching advisory or fail thresholds.
