2012 Renault Trucks Master 125.35 MWB 2.3L Diesel · FJ61 MDO

The Renault Master currently holds a valid MOT certificate, having passed its most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 174,143 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, demonstrating consistent annual compliance. Yet, the failures recorded on 28 February 2025 and 12 March 2024—both rectified within days—indicate a pattern of borderline compliance. Passing immediately after a failure without recorded defects suggests the previous owner addressed specific, immediate faults right before the retest rather than maintaining the vehicle proactively throughout the year. Accumulating 174,143 miles over fourteen years equates to roughly 12,439 miles annually, a figure that reflects consistent commercial utilization rather than prolonged standing. The mileage progression remains steady across the recorded tests. The van covered 6,676 miles between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and 7,317 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. This steady accumulation points to regular, heavy-duty use, which naturally accelerates the wear of consumables, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components. A buyer should approach this van with a rigorous physical inspection, focusing on structural integrity and mechanical wear rather than relying solely on the clean MOT record. Given the immediate pass-fail-pass pattern, a thorough underside inspection is vital to check for surface corrosion on the chassis, subframe mounting points, and suspension arms. The high mileage demands close scrutiny of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, the coil springs for cracking, and the shock absorbers for fluid leaks. Tyre condition and tread depth require checking, as high-mileage commercial vehicles often suffer from uneven wear caused by delayed suspension or tracking adjustments.
