2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · GD15 UVA

The 2015 Renault Trafic has maintained a consistent MOT pass history since its most recent test on 14 August 2025, with no defects recorded across the last three annual inspections. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable, though the single failure in August 2023—despite identical mileage—suggests either a temporary oversight or a minor, easily rectified issue that did not recur. The most recent MOT, just over a year ago at 120,648 miles, indicates compliance with current DVSA standards, but the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components like suspension or drivetrain. Mileage accumulation has been steady, averaging around 10,968 miles annually—a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests remains consistent at approximately 12 months, with no unusual spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage of 120,648 miles aligns with expected wear for a vehicle now 11 years old, though this does not rule out deferred maintenance where owners may have prioritised cost over thorough servicing. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has seen heavy or varied loading. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion, as rust can compromise chassis rigidity without always appearing in MOT tests. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be checked for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are common areas for gradual deterioration in older vans.
