2014 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · DX14 LHH

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile, showing a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the most recent recorded MOT test in November 2022 at 88,369 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. That failure revealed multiple critical safety defects, including an inoperative nearside parking brake, dangerously low brake fluid levels, and worn rear brake discs. The trend suggests a pattern where the owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced to by an MOT test failure. At 88,369 miles over 12 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,364 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a van of this age. However, there is a significant data gap in the record as the last recorded test took place in November 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has gone over three years without an official roadworthiness check. This long period of unmonitored use increases the risk of hidden degradation, particularly regarding the braking and suspension components that previously showed weakness in previous inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and suspension components, as the history shows recurring issues with track rod ends and steering rack inner joints. The 2021 failure and 2020 advisory indicate that the front-end geometry is prone to premature wear. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system; the 2022 failure highlighted pitted rear discs and low fluid levels, which could indicate leaking seals or calipers. Given the lack of a recent MOT, the current state of the brake lines and the efficiency of the parking brake remains unknown and requires immediate professional test.
