2022 Renault Trafic SL28 B-Ness + Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · EL14 PUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on October 24, 2025, 32,303 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern after a significant failure just over a month prior. While the September 2025 test revealed multiple mechanical deficiencies, the subsequent pass without recorded defects indicates that the previous owner responded promptly to necessary repairs to bring the van back to legal standards. At four years old with 32,303 recorded miles, this Renault has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this type. The two-mile gap between the failure at 32,301 miles and the pass at 32,303 miles suggests that the repairs were carried out immediately following the initial inspection. This low mileage generally implies that the drivetrain and structural components have not been subjected to the heavy wear and tear often seen in high-mileage vans. A buyer should personally inspect the offside front drive shaft to ensure the replacement constant velocity boot is secure and free of grease leakage or tearing. Given the previous failure regarding the nearside Macpherson strut pin and bush, a physical check of the front suspension is necessary to confirm no residual play or excessive movement remains. Additionally, although the front brake discs and rear pads were flagged as worn or thin in September 2025, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure they were properly replaced rather than merely adjusted.
