2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · CP64 LRU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 18 July 2025 at 111,217 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the period of significant mechanical instability in 2024. While the vehicle previously suffered multiple failures related to suspension and braking components, the lack of advisories in the most recent test suggests that the previous owner addressed the critical mechanical faults identified during the prior year. With a recorded mileage of 111,217 miles over eleven years, the Renault Trafic averages 10,111 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a concentration of activity in mid-2024, where the vehicle covered only 1,000 miles between May and August tests. This interval suggests a period of intensive repair or sourcing to rectify recurring faults, whereas the 5,558 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025 indicate consistent operational use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the history shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints. The tester flagged a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber in May 2024 and play in the steering rack inner joints in August 2024. Although these were cleared, the repetitive nature of steering-related failures warrants a thorough check for remaining play or bushing wear to ensure no secondary components are failing. The braking system also requires scrutiny due to the May 2024 failure involving incorrectly mounted brake pads and pitted front discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent tests, the buyer must check for even pad wear and ensure the calipers are not binding. Additionally, given the previous deep cut on the nearside rear tyre in August 2024, the current tyre set should be inspected for sidewall damage or uneven wear that might indicate alignment issues.
