2020 Renault Trafic Business Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · EO70 LME

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 recorded a pass , but noted a nearside front seat belt webbing slightly damaged or frayed (7.1.2 (b)). This defect was also recorded in the prior MOT on 2025-12-09, which resulted in a failure due to the same seat belt issue and a registration plate lamp not illuminating simultaneously with position lamps (4.7.2 (a)). The seat belt defect has persisted across two MOTs, indicating a potential oversight in repairs or ongoing wear. The vehicle’s mechanical history shows recurring issues with suspension and braking components. In 2024-10-21, a pass noted nearside and offside front tyres worn close to legal limits (5.2.3 (e)). A subsequent failure on 2024-10-09 highlighted excessive wear in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint (5.3.4 (a) (i)), excessive wear in the front upper Macpherson strut top bush/bearing (5.3.4 (a) (i)), and thin front inner brake pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). These issues suggest potential suspension and braking system degradation , which could impact safety and handling. The trend shows mixed results . While the 2025-12-16 MOT passed, the same seat belt defect reappeared , and the registration plate lamp issue was not resolved. The 2024-10-09 failure included multiple critical defects, but no follow-up MOTs are recorded after that date.
