2004 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · HF53 HXK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2025 at 80,706 miles. While the record shows failures occurring just three days prior to passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on those failure reports suggests minor administrative issues or minor consumable items that were addressed immediately. The history indicates a proactive approach to maintenance rather than a trend of mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old Renault, averaging approximately 3,668 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 73,826 miles and the April 2025 test at 80,706 miles, the vehicle covered 6,880 miles over two years. This infrequent usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to long periods of inactivity or standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older French vans of this era are prone to corrosion that does not always trigger an MOT failure until it becomes structural. Given the low mileage, check the brake system for seized calipers or rusted discs caused by lack of use. Additionally, inspect suspension bushes and hoses for age-related cracking, as the low mileage does not prevent the natural degradation of rubber materials over two decades.
