2015 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · DS64 WBD

The 2015 Renault Master with 144,494 miles is currently roadworthy following its September 2024 MOT pass, but the recent failure just three days prior at identical mileage raises concerns. No defects were recorded in either test, suggesting potential administrative errors or unreported issues. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows inconsistent results, with passes and failures alternating without clear patterns, indicating possible lapses in pre-test preparation or unresolved underlying faults. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 105,555 miles in September 2022 to 144,494 miles in September 2024—a rise of 38,939 miles over 24 months. This equates to an average of 1,622 miles per month, exceeding typical usage for a 11-year-old vehicle. Such rapid accumulation accelerates wear on brakes, suspension components, and drivetrain systems, particularly if the vehicle was used for heavy-duty or commercial purposes. The absence of defects in most tests does not mitigate the risk of hidden deterioration from sustained high-mileage operation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity warrant scrutiny, as prolonged use increases susceptibility to rust and fatigue cracks. While the latest MOT pass confirms compliance, the recurring failures without recorded defects suggest potential oversights in prior maintenance, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic.
