2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · DX68 BGE

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 163,500 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 31 January 2024 at 128,760 miles where the tester logged no defects, immediately followed by a pass at 128,767 miles the same day, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. The van has covered 163,500 miles in roughly eight years, an average of 20,438 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 light commercial. Mileage advanced from 116,151 at the January 2023 test to 128,767 by January 2024, then to 140,589 in January 2025 and 163,500 by January 2026, showing consistent annual use of around 12,000 to 23,000 miles with no standing periods or gaps in testing. The DVSA record is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear given the high annual mileage. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn coil springs, or tyre tread issues, but the test intervals leave components like drivetrain bearings and steering joints unverified between tests. Previous owners kept the Trafic through continuous annual testing with no skipped years, suggesting disciplined statutory compliance even if deeper mechanical condition remains undocumented.
