2009 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · CV59 ABX

The Renault Trafic presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 159,368 miles on 4 August 2025, with the underlying maintenance trend appearing stable rather than worsening. The record shows two earlier failure episodes that were corrected within days and then cleared, indicating the vehicle was brought back into compliance without prolonged neglect. No advisories or defects were logged across any test, so the official data shows no escalating mechanical fault pattern. Mileage sits at 159,368 against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 9,375 miles per year and matching typical light-commercial use. The odometer moved from 149,492 at the 1 March 2023 test to 157,663 by 21 March 2024, then to 159,360 by 24 June 2025, reflecting low annual accumulation of under 2,000 miles in the latest period. Such sparse, clean entries with no corrosion, brake, or suspension flags suggest the van was not heavily worked in its later years, though the two failed-then-passed sequences in March 2024 and June 2025 hint at lapsed pre-test preparation rather than deep faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record notes no advisories but a 17-year-old Trafic is prone to chassis rust around sills and subframes. The tester flagged no binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions issues, yet the repeated fail-pass pairs at 157,653 and 159,360 miles imply the previous owner skipped routine checks before booking tests. Verify brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and tyre tread in person to confirm the clean record reflects genuine care. Given the absence of recorded defects, the van reads as mechanically sound on paper, but the twin failure events without listed causes warrant caution. Inspect service history for proof of cambelt and diesel filter changes, and confirm the 2025 pass followed genuine rectification rather than a paperwork correction.
