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

The most recent MOT carried out on 8 June 2026 recorded a full pass with no recorded defects, mirroring the clean result from the previous test on 3 June 2025. With two consecutive years of defect‑free examinations, the vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance record and no evident deterioration in the items inspected by the DVSA. This consistency suggests that the owner has kept up with the statutory service requirements and that any wear‑related issues have either been addressed promptly or have not yet reached the inspection thresholds. At four years old the Master has logged 64,048 miles, equating to roughly 16,000 miles per annum. This annual usage is above the typical 10‑12,000 mile average for a light commercial vehicle of this age and indicates a relatively high duty cycle. The elevated mileage accelerates wear on consumables such as tyre tread and sidewalls, brake pads and discs, suspension bushings, and the gearbox oil film. It also raises the probability of fatigue in the chassis mounting points and increased load on the engine cooling system, particularly if the vehicle has been used for heavy payloads or frequent stop‑start urban routes. A prospective buyer should give the tyres a thorough visual and tactile inspection, looking for uneven tread wear, sidewall cracking, or hardening that can occur with age and high mileage. During a test drive, listen for clunking or knocking from the front and rear suspension, which may signal worn coil springs, deteriorated rubber bushings, or loose mounting bolts. Apply the brakes firmly at moderate speed; any pulsation, judder, or a noticeable increase in pedal travel could indicate glazed pads, warped discs, or caliper binding that may not have been captured by the MOT. Also, check for any fluid leaks around the front and rear axle seals, the steering rack, and the exhaust manifold, as high mileage can exacerbate seal fatigue. Finally, verify the condition of the 12‑volt battery, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods idle; a load test or voltage check will reveal any loss of cranking power. Confirm that time‑based services such as coolant flush, transmission oil change, and fuel filter replacement have been performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s schedule, as these items are often serviced on a calendar rather than mileage basis. Inspect the under‑body for corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and suspension mounting points, and ensure the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive rust. A complete service book with dated stamps will provide confidence that the vehicle’s high‑mileage usage has been matched by appropriate preventative maintenance.
