2007 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · CK57 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend following a historical failure. The most recent test on 01 August 2025 at 101,545 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained reliable over the last several years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,344 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low use between June 2023 and August 2025, where the vehicle covered only 722 miles over two years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry. The failure in April 2021 at 98,945 miles suggests a minor issue that was rectified immediately given the successful pass just one month later. Despite the clean recent MOT records, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, corrosion often hides in structural areas or mounting points that MOT testers do not always reach. A buyer should specifically inspect suspension bushes for signs of perished and check for binding calipers as these components suffer from time and moisture rather than just mileage. Checking the condition of tyres for cracking is also essential to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in dry-rotted rubber.
