Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. This high-mile
Prioritise a professional inspection of the chassis and underside. The MOT history repeatedly flags corrosion of the front outriggers and jacking points; you must determine if this has progressed beyond the 'structural rigidity not significantly reduced' stage. Negotiate the purchase price to account for the immediate need for new rear tyres and the persistent suspension play noted in the 2026 records.
Review any available service records to see if the oil leaks noted in 2024 and 2025 have been addressed. Given the age and mileage, ensure that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced recently, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine size.
As a 1.9L diesel, fuel economy will be typical for a mid-sized van of this era, but maintenance costs are likely to be high. The recurring nature of the MOT advisories suggests that this vehicle requires frequent small repairs to remain roadworthy.
Annual running costs will be driven by the need to address the perishing tyres and suspension wear. Expect higher-than-average spend on consumables and chassis protection to manage the ongoing corrosion issues.
Closely examine the front outriggers and jacking points for corrosion, as these have been flagged in every test since 2024. Inspect the offside rear brake pipe for corrosion and the front lower suspension arm bushes for perishing, as these are recurring issues in the MOT history.
Check the rear tyres for cracking or perishing and verify the condition of the offside front seat belt webbing, which has been flagged as frayed. Finally, check the engine bay for signs of active oil leaks, as noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests.
This yellow 2006 Renault Trafic has covered 199,010 miles and carries a significant list of MOT advisories. The records indicate repeated failures and passes related to body corrosion, perishing tyres, and worn suspension components. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026, the consistency of the advisories suggests ongoing degradation.
