Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough mechan
When considering this 1.995cc diesel Trafic, your primary focus should be on the mechanical integrity of the engine and drivetrain, given the nearly 200,000 miles recorded. Because the MOT history shows failures occurring just days or weeks before a pass, you should ask the seller for specific details on what was repaired during those failure periods to ensure nothing was merely patched up to pass the test.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the frequency of MOT failures. Ensure you request a full service history to see if the maintenance has kept pace with the usage. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, checking the condition of the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and suspension components is essential, as these are common wear items on high-mileage diesel vans.
Running costs for this Renault Trafic will be influenced heavily by its diesel engine and high mileage. As a 2.0L diesel, fuel economy will depend on load and driving style, but you should budget for regular diesel costs. Tax and insurance groups for a 2009 van vary, so obtain a specific quote based on the BJ59VND registration.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and the wear associated with 192,415 miles. Expect more frequent replacements of consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension parts. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,800-£2,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance.
Inspect the vehicle thoroughly for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox, which is critical given the high mileage. Although the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, the previous failures in 2024 and 2025 suggest that components requiring attention are present. Check the underside for corrosion and ensure the suspension feels stable during a test drive.
Pay close attention to the exhaust system and emissions-related components, as these are common areas for diesel vans to encounter issues. Given the recent MOT failures, specifically ask the seller for the repair invoices associated with the October 2024 and October 2025 failures to verify the quality of the work performed.
This 2009 Renault Trafic, finished in black, has covered 192,415 miles since its first registration in November 2009. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures occurring shortly before successful passes in both 2024 and 2025. While the most recent test in October 2025 resulted in no defects, the high mileage remains a significant factor for a diesel commercial vehicle of this age.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Renault Trafic to provide a specific model-wide trend.
