2015 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · DC65 DZW

The 2015 Renault Master currently holds a valid MOT pass issued on 3 December 2025 at 115,665 miles, but the maintenance trend is best described as erratic rather than stable. The vehicle failed the very day before that pass on 2 December 2025 at the identical recorded mileage, with the tester flagging a worn brake pedal anti-slip surface and an inoperative engine management lamp. That same MIL fault had also caused a failure on 3 December 2024 at 113,934 miles, suggesting the engine warning lamp issue persisted across multiple test cycles before being rectified. The recurring nature of this electrical fault, combined with the pedal wear advisory, indicates the previous keeper addressed problems reactively ahead of each test rather than following a consistent preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage progression tells a broadly coherent story. Between the November 2023 test at 110,789 miles and the December 2024 test at 113,934 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 3,145 miles over thirteen months. From December 2024 to December 2025, the increase was only 1,731 miles, pointing to reduced use in the most recent year. The annualised average of around 10,500 miles is typical for a working van of this age, and there are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden jumps that would raise odometer fraud concerns. The record is reasonably well documented with consecutive annual tests, giving a reliable service history footprint. A buyer inspecting this van in person should focus on the front brake system and pedal assembly. The December 2025 advisory for a smooth brake pedal surface suggests the anti-slip tread has worn down, which can indicate heavy use or a driving style involving prolonged pedal resting. The front brake discs, pads, and calipers deserve close scrutiny for uneven wear or binding. The repeated engine management lamp fault, although now resolved, warrants a full diagnostic scan to confirm no stored fault codes remain and to verify the catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter are functioning correctly, as MIL suppression rather than repair is a known shortcut in the used commercial market. Tyre condition should also be checked carefully, given the November 2023 advisory flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit, which on a heavy front-loaded van is a common but safety-critical wear item.
