2014 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · FJ14 FWT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 71,420 miles shows the vehicle passing after failing just four miles prior. This failure was significant, involving nearside rear brake pads worn metal-to-metal and multiple tyre defects. While the vehicle passed the subsequent re-test, the trend suggests that the owner only addresses critical faults once they reach the point of an MOT failure. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 71,420 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between September 2023 and 2024, and another 4,600 miles between 2024 and 2025. However, the low mileage correlates with age-related degradation, evidenced by the recurring cracking and perishing of tyres noted across multiple years, which indicates rubber aging despite low tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The metal-to-metal failure on the nearside rear brake in 2025 suggests potential damage to the rotors or caliper pistons which may require close inspection. Furthermore, the offside front inner tyre being worn on the edge in 2025 points to a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified. Additionally, the offside rear bodywork damage flagged in 2024 should be visually inspected to ensure structural integrity is not compromised by previous impact or subsequent corrosion.
