2009 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · CE59 FXV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 15 June 2023 at 184,921 miles which passed with no recorded defects. Although a failure occurred just nine days prior on 6 June 2023 at 184,758 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since the 2019 test, the vehicle has maintained a consistent record of passing without recurring structural or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,878 miles per year. There was a notable gap of 10,067 miles between October 2020 and May 2022, followed by a rapid accumulation of 18,053 miles between May 2022 and June 2023. This spike suggests the vehicle was in heavy use more recently, which often prevents components like seals and bushes from drying out due to standing. However, the high total mileage of 184,921 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points which are common failure areas for this era of Trafic. Given the recent high mileage, the condition of the suspension arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers is critical, as the MOT record does not detail past wear-related advisories. One should also check for signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to premature component fatigue in the braking system.
