Our Verdict
A viable option for buyers seeking a low
Prioritise verifying the repairs carried out following the MOT failures. You should request invoices for the replacement of the nearside rear coil spring (April 2026) and the nearside front shock absorber (April 2025) to ensure quality parts were used.
Given the low mileage of approximately 7,000 miles per year, check the service history to ensure oil changes were performed at regular intervals regardless of the low distance covered, as diesel engines in commercial use can suffer from short-trip wear.
Running costs will be driven primarily by diesel fuel consumption and commercial insurance premiums. The 1.6L engine is designed for efficiency, but costs will vary based on payload and usage patterns.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this age of vehicle if further suspension components require replacement. Expect annual expenditures covering tax, insurance, fuel, and routine servicing to be moderate for a van of this specification.
A detailed inspection of the suspension is essential. Specifically, check the nearside rear and nearside front areas where a fractured coil spring and a leaking shock absorber were previously recorded. Ensure there are no new leaks or unusual noises when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, inspect the rest of the chassis for corrosion, which is common in commercial vehicles of this era, and check the condition of the tyres to see if the previous suspension issues have caused uneven wear.
This blue 2016 Renault Trafic, powered by a 1.6L diesel engine, has recorded 71,406 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. The MOT history reveals a pattern of suspension-related failures over the last two years, specifically involving a shock absorber and a coil spring. Despite these failures, the vehicle's total mileage is low for a commercial van of this age.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Renault Trafic to establish a general reliability trend.
