2018 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · BX18 AEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-01-23 at 88,449 miles recorded a pass, but a prior failure on the same date at 88,440 miles highlighted two defects: a non-functional rear registration plate lamp and thin offside rear brake pads. These issues suggest inconsistent maintenance, with the brake pad wear indicating potential neglect of routine inspections. The overall trend shows stability in recent tests, though recurring minor faults like the registration lamp and tyre nail from 2023 imply a pattern of deferred repairs. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 11,056 miles annually since 2018. The 2024-06-05 test at 86,659 miles noted a registration lamp fault, while the 2023-05-11 test recorded a front tyre nail. Gaps between tests, such as the 18-month interval between 2024 and 2025, may reflect reduced usage or delayed servicing. No major structural or mechanical failures are documented, but the absence of detailed defect records in earlier tests limits a full assessment of underlying issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the brake system, particularly the offside rear calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear, and verify the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play. The registration plate lamp’s repeated failures warrant checking the wiring and fuse box for corrosion or faults. Additionally, the exhaust system’s emissions compliance and bodyshell integrity for rust or panel damage should be scrutinised, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this age and mileage.
