2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · CK16 FTE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy as the June 16 2026 MOT passed with mileage 178,342, showing no major mechanical failures and only minor advisories such as defective repeater lenses and slight play in the offside front anti‑roll bar linkage. The maintenance trend remains stable, with consistent passing of the test since 2022 and no escalation to serious defects. Mileage has risen from 115,016 miles in June 2020 to 178,342 miles in June 2026, an increase of 63,326 miles over six years, averaging about 10,554 miles per year, which is high for a ten‑year‑old van. The jump from 159,041 miles in June 2022 to 176,853 miles in June 2025 represents a 17,812‑mile surge in three years, indicating accelerated use or extended periods of standing, while earlier gaps between 2020 and 2021 (28,214 miles in a year) and 2022 to 2023 (9,904 miles in a year) reveal irregular mileage accumulation. Recurrent issues centre on the braking system and suspension: front brake discs have been noted as worn, pitted or scored in every test since 2023, and the front brake pipe has corroded and been covered in grease or other material in 2024 and 2025. The offside front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint showed slight play in 2026, and the rear suspension bushes have not been inspected recently, implying potential wear, while the absence of recorded structural rust does not preclude hidden decay around the chassis and wheel arches. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front brake discs and pads, verify the integrity of the brake pipes for corrosion, test the anti‑roll bar linkage for play, inspect the suspension bushes and mounting points, and check the chassis for any signs of rust or structural damage, especially around the wheel arches and under‑tray where moisture can accumulate.
