2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · DA65 KKY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 108,522 miles passed, the tester identified a binding nearside rear service brake and an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. These defects follow a period of clean records in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach failure-level thresholds. The recorded mileage of 108,522 miles over eleven years averages to approximately 9,866 miles per year, which aligns with with the typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between December 2024 and November 2025, and another 10,000 miles between November 2023 and December 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity which generally helps protect seals and rubber components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically investigating the nearside rear caliper noted in the 2025 test to ensure the binding is not caused by a seized piston or perished slider. The failure in 2023 regarding low tyre tread depth and the subsequent edge wear noted in 2025 indicate a potential issue with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Check the suspension geometry and steering components for uneven wear, as the recurring tyre issues suggest underlying mechanical play affecting tyre life and vehicle stability.
