2022 Renault Trafic LL30 Sport Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · CF22 UDP

A recurring pattern of front tyre wear defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, with the issue appearing in both the 2025 and the latest 2026-07-31 test outcomes. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate, the repetition of tyres worn close to the legal limit on both edges suggests a potential alignment issue or specific loading patterns. This trend indicates that the front-end consumables are wearing prematurely or unevenly. The recorded mileage of 29,071 miles over approximately four years reflects a typical usage profile of roughly 7,268 miles per annum. This level of accumulation suggests moderate wear across the drivetrain and suspension components, without the extreme degradation associated with high-mileage commercial use or the potential stagnation issues found in vehicles that have spent extended periods off the road. Attention must be paid to the steering and suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The 2025 record flagged slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint; although not mentioned in the latest test, a buyer should listen for knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or feel for any vagueness in the steering response. The repeated advisories for edge wear on the front tyres further necessitate a close inspection of the tread depth across the full width of the tyre to determine if the vehicle requires a four-wheel alignment. The windscreen damage noted as a minor defect in 2025 should be visually inspected to ensure the crack has not propagated or developed into a larger failure since that recording. During the test drive, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or instability under braking, which would correlate with the recorded tyre wear and steering linkage play.
