2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · GL17 DPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 83,726 miles passed but highlighted specific advisories regarding a worn nearside front tyre and pitted rear brake discs. While the vehicle met the legal requirements, the presence of these wear-related items suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach the point of failure or are flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old van, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of 10,856 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 11,010 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used for consistent duties rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the-related degradation of rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and braking system. Records from December 2022 identified play in both the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and the lower suspension arm ball joint. While these were not flagged in later tests, the previous history of component wear warrants a thorough check for steering precision and lateral knocks. The pitted rear brake discs noted in 2025 indicate that the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life, requiring an inspection of the thickness and condition of the pads to ensure no immediate binding is present.
