2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · CU68 RZG

The 2018 Renault Trafic presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent examination on 30 December 2025 at 64,058 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards on that date. Curiously, the preceding test on 29 December 2025 at 64,035 miles shows a failure, yet the record lists no defects. This anomaly suggests an aborted test or an administrative discrepancy rather than a sudden mechanical fault, given the flawless pass just one day later. Overall, the maintenance trajectory remains stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues documented across the lifespan of the record. The annual mileage accumulation reveals a distinct downward trend over the last three years. Between the December 2022 test at 45,210 miles and the December 2023 test at 53,442 miles, the van covered 8,232 miles. This dropped to 6,447 miles by the December 2024 test at 59,889 miles, and further declined to just 4,169 miles by the December 2025 test at 64,058 miles. Relative to the current date of July 2026, the recorded mileage has remained static since the last winter test. Such a sharp reduction in usage, or potentially long periods standing, requires careful consideration regarding the condition of consumables like tyres and the braking system, which can deteriorate through inactivity rather than use. With zero advisories or defects recorded in the official history, the MOT data offers no specific recurring faults to target. A buyer must therefore rely on a thorough physical inspection of typical wear areas for a commercial van of this age. Focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounts, checking for corrosion that might not trigger a failure but compromises long-term durability. Inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface rust, a common issue when a vehicle stands idle. Verify the sidewall condition and tread depth of the tyres, as rubber ages and cracks regardless of mileage. Finally, scrutinize the exhaust system and engine mounts for deterioration, ensuring the recent low mileage has not masked underlying fluid leaks or perished rubber components.
