2019 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · FJ19 HDD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening mechanical neglect as the mileage increased. While the van passed its November 2025 test at 174,843 miles, this followed a significant failure just ten days prior. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple concurrent defects in late 2025 suggests that the vehicle has moved into reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with critical issues like a seized bonnet safety catch and a broken EGR system. The usage pattern is exceptionally high for a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 25,000 miles annually. Between October 2024 at 139,019 miles and November 2025 at 174,843 miles, the vehicle covered over 35,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places extreme strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The clean records between mid-2023 and late 2023 contrast sharply with the recent heavy-duty duty cycle, which has accelerated the wear of rubber components and safety equipment. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension and seating, as the nearside lower suspension arm ball joint was already flagged for play. The record also shows recurring damage and perishing on multiple tyres, indicating the vehicle may have been operated in harsh environments or with little attention to consumable condition. Given the previous failure for exhaust fumes entering the cabin, the buyer should verify the integrity of the exhaust system and ensure the EGR repair is fully sealed. Additionally, the frayed offside seat belt webbing remains a persistent safety concern that requires immediate replacement despite the recent pass.
