2016 Renault Trafic SL27 Business Energydci Diesel · CK16 CDV

The 2016 Renault Trafic presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 6 September 2025 at 98,235 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the entire documented history indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high standard. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than waiting for components to fail. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical commercial van usage, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. Between the 2022 test at 72,301 miles and the 2023 test at 83,175 miles, the van covered 10,874 miles, showing a slight uptick in usage. This dropped to 9,219 miles over the following year and just 5,841 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. The recent reduction in annual mileage might indicate lighter duties or a change in ownership, but the overall wear remains consistent with a well-used panel van rather than a neglected fleet vehicle. Despite the flawless MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the structural and mechanical components typical of a high-mileage commercial vehicle. Check the chassis and load floor for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, as surface rust can escalate quickly on panel vans. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, alongside the condition of the brake discs and calipers, ensuring no binding occurs under load. While the exhaust emissions have passed without issue, verify the DPF system's health and look for any signs of oil leaks around the engine and gearbox, as these common faults on the Energy dCi engine often develop between MOT intervals.
