2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · EX66 ACZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 5 September 2025 at 179,804 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern where the vehicle has passed its annual inspections without any flagged mechanical failures or advisories since August 2023. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging nearly 18,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, with the odometer rising from 157,011 miles in August 2023 to 179,804 miles by September 2025. This represents a high-use profile typical of a commercial workhorse, which generally accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the lack of recorded MOT defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the structural sills and subframes, as these are common failure points for this model. The absence of advisories is positive, but it does not guarantee the current state of consumables. Priority should be given to inspecting the brake discs for thinning and the suspension coil springs for stress fractures. Given the high annual mileage, the condition of the clutch and the timing belt interval should be verified against service records, as these critical components are not always flagged during a standard MOT unless they cause an immediate failure.
