2008 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · EX08 YPY

Chronic electrical and emissions-related faults define this vehicle's history, specifically a recurring failure of the engine management indicator lamp across four consecutive years of testing. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 10 September 2025, the record shows a persistent pattern of failures related to the engine MIL and various external lighting components, including position lamps, fog lamp switches, and headlamp alignment. The recorded mileage of 66,774 miles is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,710 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Mechanically, this usage profile can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, and may contribute to the recurring tyre edge wear noted in the MOT history. During a physical inspection, the engine management system requires close scrutiny given the repeated failures of the MIL. Ensure no warning lights remain illuminated on the dashboard and verify the operation of all exterior lighting, specifically the rear position and fog lamps which have been flagged multiple times. The history of a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint means the steering and suspension should be checked for play; listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. Attention should also be paid to the tyre condition and alignment. The record indicates a recurring issue with tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, particularly on the nearside front. Inspect the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that could indicate ongoing alignment issues. Finally, verify the security of the nearside front bumper and the condition of the headlamp lenses, as these have been noted as advisories in recent tests.
