2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · GM16 FLW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test on 9 June 2026 at 126,255 miles passed with a minor defect regarding an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp. This fault has appeared in three of the last four tests, suggesting that the owner only addresses basic electrical issues when prompted by a test failure rather than performing routine bulb checks. At 126,255 miles, this ten-year-old Renault has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year, which indicates consistent commercial or heavy use. The data shows a significant surge in usage between July 2025 and June 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 15,000 miles. This high annual mileage puts considerable strain on heavy-duty components such as the suspension, drivetrain, and braking system. The failure in April 2024 due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) suggests the engine management system has experienced sensors or wiring faults at some point in its lifecycle. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and suspension geometry. The records from July 2025 show multiple tyres worn on the edges and cracked near the legal limit, which often points to misaligned tracking or worn shock absorbers. The front oil leak noted in July 2025 requires a close visual inspection to ensure it has not progressed into a significant leak that could affect auxiliary components or belts. Given the high mileage and recurring tyre wear, checking the condition of the bushes and the thickness of the brake discs is essential to determine if immediate repair costs are imminent.
