2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · DT18 ACO

The 2018 Renault Trafic presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-04 at 64,379 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the MOT history reveals inconsistencies, including a failed test on 2025-01-31 at the same mileage as a subsequent pass, which may indicate administrative errors or unresolved issues. No structural, braking, or suspension defects were noted in the latest assessment, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The absence of critical failures in the most recent test implies the car is currently roadworthy, though the prior failed tests without recorded defects warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 64,379 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,047 miles, consistent with its 8-year age. The MOT records show regular testing, with intervals of approximately six to seven months between assessments. Notably, the 2024-06-26 test at 63,364 miles passed without issues, followed by a failed test on 2024-06-25 at 63,362 miles, suggesting potential testing anomalies or minor faults resolved before the subsequent pass. The data lacks detailed defect descriptions, limiting insight into specific maintenance needs, but the overall pattern indicates no significant mechanical deterioration. A prospective buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, given the age and mileage, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as these are common wear points in vans of this era. Structural integrity should be assessed for corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT records. The absence of recurring defects in the latest test is reassuring, but the earlier failed assessments without recorded faults highlight the importance of a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition and address any unresolved concerns.
