2018 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · FG18 HZE

The Renault Master presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 11 March 2026 at 106,045 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared that test with no defects logged one day after a failed attempt on 10 March 2026 at 106,041 miles that also recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests show the same pattern: a pass on 13 March 2025 at 102,712 miles followed a defect-free fail on 1 March 2025 at 102,709 miles, and the 22 February 2024 test passed at 99,185 miles with nothing flagged. Mileage sat at 99,185 in February 2024 and rose to 102,712 by March 2025, then to 106,045 by March 2026, giving annual use of roughly 3,500 to 3,300 miles across those years against an eight-year average near 13,256 miles. The recorded history is sparse, covering only three years of a nine-year life, and shows no advisories or defects across any entry. Such a clean sheet with repeated same-week fail-then-pass cycles suggests the seller addressed paperwork or test conditions promptly, though it leaves the earlier five years unverified for wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage of 106,045 on a 2018 van. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity notes in the DVLA data does not rule out underbody rust on a commercial vehicle used in winter salting. Check for binding calipers and exhaust emissions at cold start, as the MOT record offers no evidence either way on consumable condition. Given the two defect-free fails immediately preceding passes, verify the test centre reasons with the DVSA. The owner kept the Master tested yearly and cleared it without mechanical advisories, implying reasonable basic upkeep despite the unexplained failure entries.
