2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · CE65 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 28 April 2025 at 79,673 miles with no recorded defects. While the record shows a technical failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly without indicating a deep-seated mechanical decline. The trend of clean passes over the last three years indicates that the structural and mechanical components have remained within acceptable operating parameters during recent inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use profile, averaging approximately 7,243 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between May 2023 at 65,457 miles and May 2024 at 72,055 miles, the vehicle covered 6,598 miles, followed by an additional 7,618 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation of mileage prevents excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension compared to higher mileage examples, though low annual mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components if the vehicle has not been regularly driven. A physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Renault Trafic of this age, despite the clean MOT history. The buyer should examine the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often perish regardless of mileage. Given the failures in 2023 and 2025, a close check of the brake discs and pads is necessary to ensure no uneven wear or binding has developed. Additionally, checking the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the sills and mounting points, is vital to ensure the long-term structural integrity of the vehicle as it enters its second decade of service.
