2022 Renault Trafic SL28 Business Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · CA22 PFF

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Renault Trafic was conducted on 18 May 2026, at which the vehicle achieved a PASSED outcome with no defects or advisories recorded against it. The previous test on 16 May 2025 also returned a PASSED result, again with no advisories or failures documented. With two consecutive clean examinations and no recurring advisories or failure items appearing across the recorded history, the maintenance trend appears stable and well-managed. The absence of any flagged deterioration in areas such as braking efficiency, suspension components, lighting, or exhaust emissions suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a roadworthy standard at the time of testing, though it should be noted that the MOT provides only a snapshot at the point of inspection. The recorded mileage of 60,635 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of around 15,159 miles per year, which is notably above the typical usage rate for a light commercial vehicle of this age and is indicative of a working van that has seen consistent, possibly motorway-oriented, commercial use. There is no significant gap in mileage progression that would suggest prolonged periods of standing, which is positive from a corrosion and component-binding perspective but does mean that mechanical wear on consumables and drivetrain components is likely to be more advanced than the odometer reading alone might suggest for a vehicle of its age. Higher mileage on a turbo-diesel commercial vehicle of this type typically accelerates wear on items such as clutch components, dual-mass flywheel, turbocharger, injectors, and suspension bushes, so prospective buyers should approach the odometer reading with an awareness that commercial vans are generally subject to more arduous loading cycles than passenger cars. Given the clean MOT history but elevated mileage, a prospective buyer should carry out a number of practical physical inspections and condition checks prior to purchase. Tyres should be examined closely for tread depth, even wear across the axle, and any signs of uneven wear which could indicate tracking, geometry, or suspension issues, particularly given the loaded use typical of a Trafic. The condition of the brake discs and pads should be visually inspected, as commercial vehicles frequently exhibit lipped or worn front discs, and any scoring or pulsing under braking warrants further investigation. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the suspension, including checking for worn anti-roll bar bushes, drop links, and coil springs, as well as listening for any knocking or clonking noises over uneven surfaces during a test drive. The exhaust system, including the DPF, turbocharger, and EGR valve, should be assessed for warning lights, smoke on startup, or any signs of restricted performance which are common on high-mileage diesel commercials. Additional checks should focus on age-related and time-served deterioration, even where mileage is relatively high. The 12-volt battery should be tested for cranking performance and state of charge, particularly as commercial vehicles often experience short urban cycles that do not fully replenish the battery. Brake fluid, coolant, and engine oil should all be verified for recent replacement in line with manufacturer service intervals, as calendar-based degradation of these fluids occurs regardless of mileage. The underside of the vehicle should ideally be examined on a ramp for signs of fluid leaks from the engine, gearbox, or differential, as well as any corrosion to structural or load-bearing areas, brake lines, or fuel lines. Clutch operation should be assessed for slipping, juddering, or any difficulty engaging gears, and the steering should be checked for play or uneven assistance. Finally, verifying a complete main dealer or specialist service history with documented timing belt or chain replacement, DPF cleaning if applicable, and regular oil changes will provide further confidence that this high-mileage commercial vehicle has been properly maintained throughout its working life.
