2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · EU68 AJV

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy with a clean pass recorded on 23 September 2025 at 33,487 miles and no defects noted. Maintenance trend remains stable across the recent cycle, as the tests on 17 October 2024 at 27,063 miles and 6 October 2023 at 24,391 miles also returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle carries a consistent history of mechanical compliance since the 2022 anomalies. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old van, totalling 33,487 miles or roughly 4,186 annually. The record shows measured accumulation: 21,340 miles on 14 September 2022, rising to 24,391 by 6 October 2023, then 27,063 on 17 October 2024, and 33,487 on 23 September 2025. A curious pair of entries appears in September 2022, where the tester logged a failure on 13 September at 21,336 miles with no defects, followed by a pass the next day at 21,340 miles with no defects. Such a minimal four-mile gap and absent fault data suggest administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than wear-driven neglect. Across all presented tests, the DVSA output flags no issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion. The absence of advisories indicates previous owners addressed consumables before each test, though the unexplained 2022 failure merits a check of the raw certificate. Low annual use can mask degraded rubber components and seized mechanisms that an MOT pass does not always expose. A prospective buyer should physically examine the front suspension arms for bush deterioration, inspect rear brake calipers for binding after standing, and assess chassis legs for corrosion. Confirm tyre tread and sidewall condition given the light mileage pattern. The clean record supports a sound purchase, but the 2022 anomaly and inherent Trafic weak points require hands-on verification before commitment.
