2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · EU68 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 8 October 2025 at 31,661 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just four miles prior on the same day. This suggests that the previous failure was likely a minor administrative error or a sensor fault that was rectified immediately before the re-test. There is no evidence of a worsening mechanical trend or structural degradation across the recorded period. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 4,700 miles, while it covered 3,508 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This consistent low-mileage suggests light commercial use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long-term standing without movement can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and surface corrosion on braking metalwork. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related wear that low mileage does not prevent. Given the infrequent use, check the condition of the tyres for sidew rot or cracking, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. The brake discs should be inspected for pitting or heavy rust, as calipers can seize if not regularly exercised. Although the MOT history currently shows no structural issues, a manual check of the chassis and suspension bushes remains advisable to ensure no corrosion has developed despite the age.
