2014 Renault D 5.1L Diesel · FX64 AFY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent 8 January 2026 MOT at 548,750 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier minor king‑pin play noted on the outside side of axle 1 in the 6 January 2023 and 5 January 2024 tests did not reappear in the latest examination, indicating an improving trend rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage of 548,750 miles for a 2014 model translates to an average of roughly 45,000 miles per year, well above typical usage. The record shows consistent annual testing from 2018 through 2026, with a notable jump from 349,792 miles in October 2018 to 420,139 miles in October 2019, and a further increase of 128,611 miles between October 2019 and January 2022. This rapid accumulation suggests sustained high‑kilometre operation and limited periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the front suspension and steering assembly, confirming that the king‑pin and associated bushes exhibit no play and that coil springs are free of cracks. Brake discs and pads should be inspected for thickness and uneven wear, especially given the high mileage. Tyre tread depth must meet legal limits, and any signs of corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system should be noted, as prolonged wear can mask emerging structural issues. A thorough test drive will reveal any binding brakes, abnormal noises, or handling irregularities that the MOT record alone cannot capture.
