2010 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · GV10 HRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 128,059 miles passed, it still flagged both nearside and offside front brake pipe corrosion alongside a low parking brake efficiency of 16%. The trend is stable but concerning, as several issues like brake disc wear and suspension bushes persisted across multiple years and failed re-tests, suggesting that repairs are only addressed immediately when they threaten an MOT pass. At 128,059 miles over 16 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a light commercial or secondary use profile. The data shows regular usage, with 3,000 miles covered between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 373 miles between November 2024 and January 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, but the low mileage highlights age-related degradation of rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the corrosion on the brake pipes has been a recurring advisory since at least 2024. The parking brake remains dangerously weak, which often indicates the internal mechanism or cables require significant adjustment or total replacement. Furthermore, the nearside front suspension arm bush was flagged in late 2024 and should be checked for play or further tearing, as worn bushes affect steering precision and uneven tyre wear. The drivetrain also requires attention, specifically the nearside front CV boot which previously caused a failure in October 2024. This component should be inspected for grease leakage or tearing which would indicate an imminent joint failure. The history of pitted brake discs and uneven wear on rear tyres suggests potential alignment issues or neglected shock absorbers. Given the age of this Renault Master and the presence of corrosion on brake lines, a detailed check of the chassis structural integrity is essential to ensure rust has not been compromised beyond what is visible in the MOT records.
