2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · DA16 EAG

The Renault Trafic presents a mixed roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 3 November 2022 at 210,851 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, yet the same date also shows a failure with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly that suggests a retest or data error rather than a mechanical fault. Against the 15 November 2021 pass at 183,805 miles, the maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with no advisories or worn components flagged across either examination. Mileage stood at 183,805 in November 2021 and rose to 210,851 by November 2022, a 27,046-mile annual increase that exceeds the 21,085-mile average for the vehicle's ten-year life. The record shows only two test entries across the final two years of available data, leaving a sparse trail with no intermediate checks. At 210,851 miles the van is high-use for its age, pointing to sustained commercial or delivery duty rather than occasional private running. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component condition between tests. The clean history offers no flagged corrosion or structural concerns, but the 2022 same-day fail with no defects warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal match the true test outcome. Given the high annual mileage and sparse record, expect consumable wear on tyres, wiper blades, and clutch components ahead of a lower-mileage equivalent. The previous owner kept the van through two consecutive passes, implying basic statutory compliance, though the missing intermediate years leave drivetrain health unverified by the MOT trail.
