2021 Renault Loloader 2.3L Diesel · DU71 RBX

The Renault Lodgy has maintained a clean MOT history over the past two tests, both concluding with no defects recorded. The most recent inspection on 31 October 2025—just nine months ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, suggesting no immediate red flags in its mechanical condition. However, the absence of advisories or minor faults in either test does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of recurring issues in the MOT record implies that, at least in terms of statutory requirements, the vehicle has been kept compliant with basic roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 209,347 miles at the time of the last test represents an unusually high annual average, averaging approximately 41,869 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. This suggests either intensive use or prolonged periods of operation without significant downtime. The gap between tests—just under 11 months between November 2024 and October 2025—indicates the vehicle was likely kept in regular service, though the absence of intermediate MOTs means there is no record of any intervening maintenance or potential issues that may have been addressed privately. Buyers should verify whether this mileage pattern aligns with the vehicle’s intended usage, as such high annual mileage can accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Given the sparse MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear areas that are not routinely checked under standard MOT testing. The suspension system—particularly the condition of bushes, dampers, and coil springs—should be scrutinised for excessive play, corrosion, or cracking, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Brake components, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been operated in mixed conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should also be assessed for signs of rust penetration or deformation, as these issues often develop gradually and are not always captured in a basic MOT. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, which could indicate underlying issues with the catalytic converter or muffler. Given the lack of advisories in past tests, any deviations from expected wear patterns would be particularly noteworthy.
