2007 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · GL07 OHA

This 2007 Renault Trafic has a mileage of 141,252 miles, which averages roughly 7,400 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of its age, suggesting it has not been excessively driven but also hasn't been sitting idle for long periods, meaning wear on components should be consistent with its age. The most recent MOT from January 2026 shows a pass, but the vehicle has a concerning pattern of recurring mechanical issues. There is a clear trend of worsening condition regarding the braking system and fluid integrity. While the 2023 record noted corroded rear brake pipes, the 2025 failure highlighted excessive corrosion on both rear brake pipes, and the 2026 test reveals worn and pitted discs on both the front and rear, alongside thinning rear pads. The presence of an illuminated engine management light (EML) and a reported oil leak in the latest MOT are significant red flags. These, combined with the recurring brake issues, suggest that maintenance has been reactive rather than preventative. The condition trend is worsening, as simple wear items like pads and discs are now failing alongside more serious concerns like engine management and oil leaks. Before purchasing, you must prioritise inspecting the engine area for the source and severity of the oil leak and obtain a diagnostic report to identify the cause of the engine management light. You should also thoroughly inspect the condition of the braking system, specifically checking for any signs of further corrosion on the pipes and ensuring the discs and pads have sufficient life remaining.
