EX63 EPC MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Renault Master (EX63 EPC) between September 2023 and August 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 15 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain. The MOT records show a recurring issue with the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, which was an advisory in 2024 before becoming a failure in 2026. Ensure that the repairs carried out for the August 2026 failure were performed to a professional standard.
Review the service history specifically for clutch and flywheel replacements, as these are typical wear items for high-mileage diesel vans of this era. You should also negotiate the price based on the damaged windscreen and the condition of the front tyres, both of which were noted as advisories in the most recent test.
The 2298cc diesel engine is designed for commercial efficiency, but fuel costs will be a primary expense given the vehicle's age and mileage. Insurance and road tax will vary based on the specific payload configuration and the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history suggests a need for frequent replacements of suspension components and brake system maintenance. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine repairs, are likely to fall between £1,500 and £2,200.
Carefully inspect the nearside front suspension and the constant velocity (CV) boots, as these were the primary causes of the August 2026 MOT failure. Check the brake pipes for signs of corrosion or evidence of the 'grease or other material' mentioned in the 2023 MOT advisory, as this can mask structural rust.
Examine the windscreen for the damage noted in the 2025 and 2026 tests to determine if a full replacement is necessary. Finally, check the remaining tread on the front tyres, as they were flagged as being close to the legal limit during the most recent inspection.
This 2013 grey Renault Master has recorded 160,780 miles. The MOT history reveals a trend of wear-and-tear issues, including a failure in August 2026 regarding a CV boot and suspension ball joint, and a 2023 advisory for brake pipe corrosion. It has been tested annually, but the high mileage and recent mechanical failures indicate significant use.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Renault Master to provide a model-wide comparison.
