2022 Renault Trafic SL28 B-Ness + Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · FD22 WWR

High annual mileage and a recent failure on 1 July 2025 define the mechanical profile of this Renault Trafic, which has covered nearly 100,000 miles in approximately four years. While the vehicle achieved a pass on that same date following an initial failure, the lack of recorded defect details for the failure and the subsequent pass suggests a recent period of mechanical adjustment. The current record shows a very recent successful test on 1 July 2025, but the overall history is characterized by heavy usage rather than a long-term pattern of documented component wear or recurring advisories. The vehicle has accumulated 99,284 miles, averaging roughly 24,821 miles per year. This high-intensity usage pattern is significantly above the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age and indicates heavy commercial or long-distance application. Mechanically, this level of mileage places accelerated wear on high-stress components such as the turbocharger, clutch assembly, fuel injectors, and various suspension linkages. The rapid accumulation of miles means that components like brake discs, pads, and tyres will likely reach the end of their service life much sooner than on a lower-mileage equivalent. Because the MOT record does not specify the exact nature of the failure on 1 July 2025, a physical inspection is required to identify what was rectified. Given the high mileage, focus should be placed on the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds from the front or rear suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or dampers. Check for any hesitation or loss of power under load, and listen for unusual whistling or grinding noises from the engine bay that might suggest turbocharger or belt issues. The braking system and steering should also be scrutinized due to the heavy mileage. During the test drive, feel for any pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at speed, which may indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Pay close attention to the steering response; any pulling to one side or a heavy, non-linear feeling through the wheel could point to worn steering rack components or suspension geometry issues. Finally, check for any visible oil misting or leaks around the engine and gearbox to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the integrity of the various seals and gaskets.
