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

The Renault Trucks Master 35 LWB presents a clean MOT history in terms of defects, with every test since July 2023 passing without major issues—despite two failed tests in June 2024 and June 2025, neither revealed any mechanical or structural concerns. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, at least in terms of compliance with MOT requirements. The most recent test in June 2025 at 100,330 miles confirms no advisories or failures, indicating stable roadworthiness. However, the repeated failures—both in June—are unusual and may imply administrative errors rather than mechanical problems, though they do not reflect poorly on the vehicle’s condition. The mileage accumulation is notably aggressive for its age, with 100,330 miles covered in just over four years, averaging around 25,000 miles annually. This is well above typical usage for a commercial or light-duty van, particularly given the short intervals between tests: the 2024 failures occurred just 2,425 miles apart (68,916 to 71,341 miles), suggesting either intensive use or a deliberate approach to minimise standing time. The gap between the July 2023 pass (37,097 miles) and the June 2024 failure (68,916 miles) indicates a roughly 32,000-mile interval, which is longer than the standard 12-month MOT cycle but aligns with mileage-based testing. Buyers should verify whether this high mileage has led to accelerated wear on suspension components—such as coil springs, shock absorbers, or ball joints—as well as brake systems, given the vehicle’s likely heavy workload. Given the absence of defects or advisories in the MOT record, a prospective buyer should focus on components prone to wear under high mileage: inspect the suspension for degraded bushes, worn coil springs, or uneven tyre wear indicating alignment issues. The brake system, including calipers, discs, and pads, should be checked for excessive wear or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been used for frequent stops or heavy loads. Exhaust emissions and fuel efficiency may also warrant scrutiny, as prolonged high-mileage use can strain the engine and emissions systems. Structural integrity, while not flagged in the MOT, should be visually confirmed for signs of corrosion or fatigue, especially around wheel arches, chassis rails, and suspension mounts. The clean MOT history is a positive indicator, but the mileage suggests thorough mechanical checks are prudent.
