2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · CA65 UGR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. While it passed its latest test on 20 January 2026 at 79,644 miles, it had failed exactly one day prior due to an ABS warning lamp illumination. This suggests a mechanical fault was identified and rectified immediately before the pass, rather than being addressed proactively. The overall trend remains stable, though the failure highlights a reactive approach rather than consistent upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 49,917 miles in January 2023 to 69,799 miles in January 2025, and reaching 79,644 miles by early 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals that can suffer from age-related degradation. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the steering assembly. The January 2024 test at 59,952 miles flagged slight play near the near side end of the steering rack. While this did not result in a failure at that time, it indicates wear in the rack or associated linkages that should be monitored for increasing play. Additionally, the ABS failure in January 2026 requires a verification check to ensure the sensor or control module was properly repaired and that the system now activates correctly under braking.
