Our Verdict
This 2015 Renault Trafic presents a relatively clean MOT record, with recent tests showing no recorded defects. Prospective buyers should focus on verifying the vehicle's commercial service history, as MOT records do not reflect mechanical maintenance.
When inspecting this Trafic, prioritise checking the service history to see how the 1.6-litre diesel engine has been maintained, as MOT tests only assess roadworthiness at a single point in time. Given the van's age and mileage, verify if the timing chain and auxiliary components have been inspected or replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule.
Negotiate based on the lack of documented service history if it is missing, as this is a commercial vehicle that may have been subjected to heavy usage. Ensure all doors, locks, and the sliding side door operate smoothly, as these are common wear points on high-mileage vans.
The 1.6-litre diesel engine is designed for efficiency, though real-world fuel economy will vary significantly depending on the load carried. As a diesel vehicle, ensure it meets the emissions standards required for your local Clean Air Zone or ULEZ requirements.
Annual running costs will include road tax, insurance—which can be higher for commercial vehicles—and routine maintenance such as oil changes and tyre replacements. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,400-£1,800, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
While the recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, conduct a thorough physical inspection of the bodywork for signs of corrosion or previous accident damage, particularly around the sills and wheel arches. Check the condition of the tyres, ensuring they have even tread wear, and inspect the brakes for signs of scoring or thinning.
Pay close attention to the engine bay for any oil leaks or unusual noises at idle. Since the vehicle recorded failures in 2023 and 2025 that were cleared immediately, verify that any previous remedial work was performed to a professional standard and is not merely a temporary fix.
Registered in December 2015, this silver Renault Trafic has covered 70,710 miles. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of annual testing since 2023, with two instances of initial failures that were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent days. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until June 2026.
There is no aggregate MOT reliability data available for the Renault Trafic, so buyers should rely on individual inspection and service records.
