2022 Renault Trucks Master 35 LWB 2.3L Diesel · FN22 BNO

The Renault Trucks Master 35 LWB shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two tests, with both the March 2025 and March 2026 MOTs passing without defects. The most recent inspection on 2026-03-13, at 65,915 miles, confirms no outstanding issues were detected, though the record’s duplication of the 2025-03-20 test date suggests either a data error or an unremarkable repeat pass. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or major failures, but the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, or brake calipers. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation of 65,915 miles over four years—approximately 16,479 miles annually—is unusually high for its class, indicating either commercial or intensive private use. Between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 7,042 miles in a single year, a rate that accelerates wear on consumables like tyres, brake linings, and suspension components. The absence of any MOT failures during this period suggests either diligent maintenance or deferred servicing, but the rapid mileage suggests the latter is more likely. There are no gaps in MOT history, but the lack of advisory notes means potential issues—such as minor corrosion or fluid leaks—could have gone unrecorded. Given the high mileage and commercial-grade usage, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, focusing on coil springs, bushes, and shock absorber integrity. The brakes, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, while the drivetrain—including CV joints and transfer case seals—should be checked for leaks or excessive play. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the subframe, is a concern given the vehicle’s age and exposure history, even if not flagged in MOTs. The absence of defects does not guarantee longevity, so attention to these high-wear areas will determine whether the Master remains reliable beyond its current mileage.
