2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · CU66 OKV

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 85,380 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available history. The only anomaly is administrative rather than mechanical: the vehicle failed on 2 October 2025 and again on 2 October 2024 at near-identical mileages, yet no defects were listed on either failure, implying paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a deterioration in condition. Annual mileage sits at a modest 8,538 per year against the vehicle's 2016 build, a typical figure for this age of light commercial. The records show 74,739 miles in October 2023, 80,425 at the October 2024 failure, and 85,380 by October 2025. That is roughly 5,600 miles covered in the past year, a slight drop from prior periods but consistent with light use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the odometer progression is clean and the sparse record carries no consumable or structural flags. Given the absence of any advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the Trafic shows no evidence of neglected upkeep. The two failure entries with zero defects suggest the previous owner may have presented the van without required documents or road tax rather than skipping mechanical care. A buyer should still verify the bodywork and underside for structural rust and check brake disc wear in person, as a clean MOT does not exempt a ten-year-old vehicle from age-related degradation. Before purchase, confirm the reason for the 2024 and 2025 failures with the test station and inspect the service history to validate the claimed mileages. The recurring no-defect failures warrant a check of the V5C and prior upkeep receipts. Otherwise the Trafic's record supports a sound, low-stress buying proposition.
