2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · FH65 VFE

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 123,912 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed clean. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the MOT threshold without flagged wear on suspension, brakes, or structure. Recorded mileage sits at 123,912 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 12,391 miles per year, which is high for a light van of this age and points to steady commercial use rather than long idle periods. The gap between the September 2023 test at 111,639 miles and the June 2025 test at 123,912 miles covers near 12,300 miles across 21 months, a reasonable cadence. A notable event occurred in September 2022 when the van failed on 20 September at 105,078 miles yet passed two days later at 105,129 miles with no defects listed; this suggests an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive repair, though the record gives no detail. The clean MOT sheet offers no flagged corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or worn coil springs and bushes for the buyer to chase. Given the high annual mileage and the vehicle's ten years, a physical inspection should still confirm underbody structural integrity, brake disc thickness, and suspension bush condition, as these items wear progressively and may pass the test yet sit close to limits. The 2022 double-entry without stated defects warrants a check of the full DVSA failure reason if available, to rule out a concealed brake or tyre fault. Otherwise the Trafic's record implies consistent basic upkeep by prior operators, with no evidence of skipped consumable replacement or deferred structural repair across the observed period.
