2018 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · DX68 BKV

The 2018 Renault Master presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-14 at 255,178 miles recording no defects. This follows a 2024-04-25 test at 223,176 miles with no issues, though a prior 2024-04-08 failure at 221,385 miles noted no defects. The absence of recorded faults in the last two passes suggests maintenance has addressed prior concerns, though the unexplained failure raises questions about the reliability of the 2024-04-08 test. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident in the history, indicating consistent care. The vehicle’s mileage of 255,178 miles over eight years equates to 31,897 miles annually, significantly higher than average for its age. This rapid accumulation accelerates wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though the MOT record lacks specific mentions of such items. Gaps between tests, such as the 11-month interval between 2022-06-16 (153,643 miles) and 2023-05-15 (193,225 miles), suggest irregular servicing, which could mask gradual deterioration. The clean recent history implies no critical failures, but the high mileage necessitates scrutiny of long-term wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system merits attention, as high-mileage vehicles often develop leaks or rust. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly under the chassis, to rule out hidden corrosion. While the MOT record shows no major faults, the combination of high mileage and sporadic testing underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection of these key components.
