2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · BW65 XRJ

The Renault Trafic presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 132,823 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable, as successive annual examinations from July 2023 through July 2025 logged no mechanical or structural advisories. The vehicle failed the same-day preliminary test on 4 July 2025 at 132,822 miles and again on 11 July 2023 at 105,941 miles, yet both failures carried no defect entries and immediate retests passed, indicating administrative anomalies rather than worsening condition. Mileage stands at 132,823 on a ten-year-old van, averaging roughly 13,282 miles per year and marking it as high-use for its age. The odometer advanced from 105,941 miles at the July 2023 test to 121,481 by July 2024, then to 132,823 by July 2025. This equates to about 15,500 miles in the first interval and 11,300 in the second, a consistent annual load with no dormant periods or sudden jumps. The DVSA record remains sparse but clean, showing only the two anomalous fails without logged faults. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion or exhaust emissions, the previous keeper evidently maintained basic test compliance. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and load floor, as rust can develop on Trafics away from MOT sightlines. Examine front suspension arms and rear brake calipers for wear consistent with 132,000 miles of light commercial duty. Verify the service history aligns with the high mileage and confirm the reason for the same-day fail entries with DVSA, since unexplained failures may mask undocumented rectifications. The overall evidence points to a mechanically sound example requiring only routine consumable checks.
