2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · FP67 ACO

Overall roadworthiness appears sound. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 105,549 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle held a clean status roughly nine months before the current date. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with successive annual examinations showing no advisories or mechanical faults. The only anomaly appears in the 11 October 2023 test at 72,908 miles, where the record logs a failure yet lists no defects; this suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a deterioration in condition, as the subsequent test nine days later on 20 October 2023 at 73,150 miles passed cleanly. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2017 panel van. From the 28 October 2022 test at 53,803 miles to the 1 October 2024 test at 87,371 miles, the vehicle covered 33,568 miles across two years, averaging about 16,784 miles per year, a slight uplift over the lifetime mean of 11,728. The final jump to 105,549 miles by October 2025 adds 18,178 miles in one year, showing consistent service rather than prolonged standing. The recorded history is sparse but unblemished apart from the unexplained fail, implying previous keepers maintained statutory testing discipline without deferred examinations. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of wear-prone items given the mileage and nine-year age. Although the MOT entries flag no corrosion on structural members, degraded suspension bushes, or worn brake discs, components such as coil springs, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions systems merit hands-on assessment. The clean advisory sheet does not exempt the Trafic from age-related fatigue in chassis mounts or drivetrain seals. Prior owner behaviour reflects basic compliance; the absence of repeated tyre or wiper blade advisories hints at routine consumable replacement. Verify the 2023 failure paperwork to confirm it carried no hidden rectification. A pre-purchase check of underneath body for rust and a road test to detect suspension knock or brake imbalance remains prudent before purchase.
