2019 Renault Trafic LL30 Sport Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · CE69 SWK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in October 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The September 2025 failure highlighted a significant mechanical oversight due to excessively worn front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints on both sides, alongside rear tyre issues. While these faults were rectified to pass the subsequent October test, the recurring nature of tyre wear across multiple years suggests the previous owner only addressed components once they reached a critical failure point or a legal threshold. The mileage progression is consistent with a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. The vehicle travelled from 43,350 miles in September 2022 to 73,580 miles by August 2024, representing a high-intensity period of over 15,000 miles annually. The subsequent 5,748 miles recorded between August 2024 and October 2025 indicate the vehicle remains in regular, active use, which explains the steady wear observed on consumable items like the suspension and braking system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the anti-roll bar links failed recently, which often indicates that rubber bushes and ball joints elsewhere may be perished. The 2024 test specifically flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs on both axles; the buyer must verify if these were replaced or if they are currently nearing the end of their service life. Given the repeated history of tyres wearing uneven on the edges in 2023 and 2025, a professional wheel alignment is necessary to ensure the geometry is correct and not causing premature tyre degradation.
