2011 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · EO61 ERV

The Renault Trafic presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 18 September 2024 at 155,237 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available history from 2020 to 2024, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, indicating no worsening trend in wear or structural condition over the period reviewed. Recorded mileage rose from 112,970 in May 2020 to 123,331 by August 2021, then to 135,668 in October 2022 and 155,237 by September 2024. That equates to roughly 10,300 miles per year, in line with typical use for a 2011 van. A near two-year gap separates the 2022 and 2024 tests, but the accumulated distance remains consistent with steady service rather than harsh commercial abuse or long standing periods. The clean MOT sequence shows no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions failures across five years. This suggests previous owners kept basic statutory standards met, though absence of advisories does not confirm component life remaining. A buyer should still inspect brake calipers for binding, check coil springs and suspension mounts for fatigue, and examine chassis legs and sills for structural rust given the vehicle's fifteen-year age and 155,000-mile use. In-person checks should prioritise tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, alongside wiper operation and fluid levels, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when compliant. Given the sparse but clean record, a pre-purchase inspection by a marque specialist remains prudent before commitment.
