2011 Renault Trucks Master 125.35 LWB 2.3L Diesel · DC11 ELL

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend following a period of clean inspections. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 130,041 miles, this result followed a significant failure just one day and sixteen miles prior. The transition from zero-defect records in 2022 and 2023 to multiple mechanical and electrical failures in 2025 suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where component wear is being actively addressed only after reaching a critical failure threshold. At 130,041 miles over fifteen years, the Master has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which is consistent with light commercial vehicle usage for its age. The data shows a notable increase in activity between August 2024 and August 2025, where 12,590 miles were covered in a single year compared to the roughly 9,000 miles recorded previously. While the low overall mileage is generally positive, the recent spike in usage has accelerated the degradation of consumable items and rubber components seen in the latest MOT results. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and drivetrain components. The 2025 record flagged corrosion on both the nearside front and offside rear brake pipes, further obscured by grease, which indicates a lack of preventative cleaning and could hide developing structural pipe thinning. The severely deteriorated nearside front outer CV boot is a recurring issue that will eventually lead to drive joint failure. Additionally, the offside rear wheel bearing with slight play requires close monitoring to prevent total seizure. The electrical system also shows signs of neglect, with multiple failed indicators, repeaters, and registration lamps during the 2025 failure. While these were rectified for the passing test, the buyer should verify that all lighting and wiring looms remain functional. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and mounting points to ensure that the corrosion noted on the brake lines is not indicative of deeper structural rust throughout the frame.
