2012 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · H1 ALO

This Renault Master has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across four consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 24 June 2025, at 191,831 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though it is now over a year since the last test. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests no major mechanical issues have been overlooked, but the extended period since the last MOT—nearly 14 months—means critical components like brakes, suspension, and emissions systems may have deteriorated beyond what a test can detect. The lack of advisories in prior tests also implies the vehicle has not been subject to repeated failures in high-wear areas, though this does not preclude gradual degradation over time. The mileage pattern reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 13,700 miles annually, which is high for a vehicle of this age. Since the last MOT in June 2025, the vehicle has likely covered another 10,000–12,000 miles, pushing total wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension beyond what a single test can verify. The consistent annual mileage suggests regular use rather than prolonged neglect, but it also means parts such as coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers may now require closer inspection. There are no gaps in the MOT history that would indicate prolonged inactivity, so corrosion risks are likely moderate rather than severe. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to fatigue over 190,000 miles. The brakes, including calipers, discs, and pads, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or exposed to heavy loads. Exhaust emissions systems, though not flagged in past tests, may now require verification for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, particularly if the vehicle has been used for commercial purposes. Structural integrity, including wheel arches, subframe, and chassis for corrosion, should also be examined, as rust can compromise safety-critical elements over time. The absence of advisories in prior tests is reassuring, but the extended time since the last MOT means some components may now require replacement or servicing.
