2004 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · FJ04 TYP

The Renault Master failed its most recent MOT on 18 December 2023 at 317,172 miles, with the DVSA record showing no defects logged against that failure. This leaves the current roadworthiness status unverified and the maintenance trend impossible to judge from the supplied data, as a single failed test with no advisory or failure detail provides no mechanical baseline. The vehicle has not presented for a test since, leaving it off-road or untested for over two and a half years relative to today's date. At roughly 22 years old the van carries 317,172 recorded miles, equating to about 14,417 miles per year. That is high for a 2004 light commercial and points to steady heavy use rather than long idle periods. The MOT history supplied contains only the one December 2023 entry, so no mileage progression, prior test gaps, or rapid accumulation can be charted from this record. A buyer must treat the unexplained December 2023 failure as a red flag and confirm in person why the tester rejected it, since DVSA captured no defect text. Given the age and mileage, physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion to chassis and body mounts, front suspension bushes and coil springs, brake disc wear, and diesel emissions integrity. The absence of earlier records means no recurring fault pattern can be assessed, so a full independent mechanical inspection is essential before any purchase.
