2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · HA60 DAZ

This Renault Trafic has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its last test on 2025-03-21, with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive annual tests. The most recent inspection confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the 15-month gap since the last test—now over a year—means a pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify no latent issues have developed. The absence of recurring advisories suggests previous owners adhered to basic maintenance, but the lack of any recorded faults does not guarantee all critical components remain in optimal condition. The recorded mileage of 59,090 miles over approximately ten years indicates a conservative usage pattern, averaging just under 6,000 miles annually. This low mileage could imply limited heavy-duty use, which may have preserved some wear items longer than expected, but it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored improperly during periods of inactivity. Notably, there are no MOT records between 2022-02-15 and 2023-02-13—a full year gap—suggesting either a temporary layoff or a deliberate deferral of testing. Such gaps, while not inherently alarming, warrant scrutiny of components prone to degradation when vehicles remain stationary, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle and bushes, as these are common failure points in high-mileage vans that may not yet show wear but could degrade rapidly. The brakes, while never flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs—especially if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. Structural integrity is another concern; inspect the underbody for corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise load-bearing members without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust emissions system, as Renault Trafics are prone to catalytic converter failures, and a failed test in this area would not appear in the record.
