2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · FJ17 GVR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-22 at 122,250 miles showed no defects, but a failed test on 2024-06-17 at the same mileage recorded no issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a misrecorded test. Previous MOTs from 2023-06-06 and 2022-05-31 also showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record over the past three years. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into underlying mechanical conditions. The mileage progression shows rapid accumulation, with 68,967 miles in 2022 rising to 122,250 by 2025—a 53,283-mile increase over three years. This equates to an average of 17,761 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for a 2017 model. Such high mileage accelerates wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, though no specific issues were noted. The 2024-06-18 test at 103,103 miles passed without defects, suggesting routine checks were conducted, but gaps in data between 2023 and 2024 raise questions about maintenance consistency. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as prolonged use increases risk of rust or fatigue. While MOT records show no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage pattern implies potential hidden wear requiring a hands-on assessment.
