2018 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · BX18 AAK

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend toward minor mechanical and cosmetic degradation. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 273,353 miles passed, but the tester noted an oil leak and a deteriorated rear registration plate. While the oil leak was described as not excessive, its appearance alongside previous steering and suspension issues suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase of increased component wear. This 2018 Renault Master has covered 273,353 miles, averaging approximately 34,000 miles per year. This high-intensity usage pattern is consistent across the recorded history. Between February 2022 and March 2023, the mileage increased by roughly 70,000 miles, and a further 40,000 miles were added between March 2023 and April 2024. Such heavy mileage accumulation typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with lighting and consumables. The tester flagged failed registration plates in 2022 and 2023, and lighting failures appeared in both the 2021 and 2024 tests. The 2023 test at 203,770 miles highlighted significant steering rack inner joint play on both sides, and the 2024 test at 244,141 miles identified worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both rear sides. These faults indicate that the suspension and steering geometry have been subject to heavy stress. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering rack and all suspension bushings to ensure the previous steering play and anti-roll bar issues have been fully rectified. Given the reported oil leak in the 2025 test, a close examination of the engine bay and underside for active leaks is necessary. Finally, check the condition of the tyres and all exterior lighting, as the history shows a pattern of running consumables close to legal limits and intermittent electrical failures.
