2021 Renault Trucks Master 35 SWB 2.3L Diesel · BO55 MPM

The Renault Trucks Master 35 SWB presents a clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 38,418 miles passed with zero defects, indicating no active mechanical or structural concerns at that time. The preceding test on 22 August 2024 at 27,892 miles also passed with no advisories or failures. This consecutive clean record suggests consistent upkeep and no recurring faults. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a five-year-old commercial van. Between the two recorded MOTs, the vehicle covered 10,526 miles over a 361-day interval, averaging roughly 7,684 miles annually. This is a moderate annual distance for a light commercial vehicle and does not raise concerns about excessive wear or prolonged standing. The record is sparse, with only two tests available, but both are clean and the mileage progression is logical. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. The Master platform is prone to corrosion on rear suspension mountings, subframes, and sill edges, particularly if used for heavy loads or operated in winter road salt conditions. Inspect the chassis rails, brake lines, and exhaust system for surface rust or early pitting. Check the condition of front suspension bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar links, as these are common wear items on high-mileage vans. Examine the tyres for uneven wear that could indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. The braking system and drivetrain deserve close attention. Although no binding calipers or worn discs were flagged, a road test should confirm even braking without pulling or judder. Assess the clutch bite point and gearbox operation for any signs of wear, especially if the van has been used for frequent stop-start urban deliveries. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains essential to verify the structural integrity and long-term reliability of this vehicle.
