2007 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · EU57 LDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 2025-04-28 at 166,727 miles, though the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of recurring and unresolved issues. The most recent test recorded two tyre-related advisories—both rear tyres showing slight damage or perishing—which were also flagged in the prior failed test on the same day. This repetition indicates that the issue has not been addressed despite the vehicle being driven to the test, suggesting either neglect or ongoing wear beyond normal expectations for its age. Additional failures related to the windscreen washer system and front direction indicators further point to inconsistent upkeep. The mileage progression over the past three years reveals a steady increase of approximately 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. From 165,532 miles in May 2023 to 166,727 miles in April 2025, the vehicle has accumulated just under 1,200 miles in the last 12 months—a rate consistent with regular use. There are no significant gaps in testing, with annual MOTs conducted within a narrow window each year, indicating reliable tracking of compliance. However, the lack of improvement in critical areas such as tyres and lighting suggests that routine checks may have been limited to passing the test rather than addressing underlying problems. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the rear tyres, given their repeated failure due to cracking or perishing—this could indicate poor storage conditions or prolonged exposure to UV and weathering. The nearside front wheel bearing’s slight play noted in 2023 remains unaddressed, raising concerns about potential suspension wear or early bearing failure. The persistent issue with the windscreen washer system implies possible blockages, pump failure, or fluid level mismanagement, which could compromise visibility in adverse conditions. While no structural corrosion or frame damage was reported, the cumulative history warrants close examination of the chassis, brake discs, and suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or binding, especially given the high annual mileage and age.
