2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · FP67 ACU

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health regarding its most recent MOT assessment, demonstrating a stable and reliable roadworthiness trend. The test conducted on 9 September 2025 at 69,971 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows a failed attempt immediately preceding the pass on the same day, the absence of specific defect data suggests these were likely administrative or minor rectifications rather than underlying mechanical failures. Annual mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage for a Renault Trafic of this vintage. The vehicle covered approximately 5,520 miles between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, following a similar pattern of steady use in previous years. This moderate, predictable mileage suggests the van has not been subjected to excessive stop-start city duty or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which can accelerate the degradation of seals, batteries, and drivetrain components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear points inherent to this model, as the clean MOT history does not account for non-testable items like clutch health or turbocharger condition. Examine the suspension bushes and lower ball joints for play, as these are frequent failure points on high-torque commercial vehicles. Check the underside for any signs of corrosion on the chassis rails and fuel lines, as the MOT record provides no insight into the current state of structural protection. Verify that the parking brake holds firmly on an incline, as commercial braking systems often require adjustment between annual inspections.
