2010 Renault Master 3.0L Diesel · HN10 ACY

The Renault Master presented a current roadworthy status via the August 2025 test, where the tester passed it at 196,445 miles with no defects recorded. On the same date a prior attempt failed at 196,443 miles yet logged no defects, pointing to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the sparse history, with every recorded pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories on suspension, brakes or structure. The official MOT dataset is sparse, with just five entries logged since the 2010 registration, yet every pass recorded no defects. Mileage stands at 196,445 on this van, averaging roughly 12,278 miles per year and marking it high for its age. The record reveals uneven use. In May 2018 the tester recorded 171,510 miles; by November 2020 it reached 189,924, a modest 18,414 over thirty months. Subsequent tests tell a different story: January 2022 at 192,239 miles, then August 2025 at 196,445, meaning only 4,206 miles accumulated across three and a half years. Such gaps between MOT entries, notably the near four-year lapse after 2022, suggest periods off the road or lapsed testing rather than continuous service. A buyer should not treat the absence of advisories as proof of sound condition. The high total mileage and intermittent testing leave suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs vulnerable to undocumented wear or corrosion. Inspect the subframe and body mounts for structural rust, test calipers for binding after standing, and confirm exhaust emissions under load. The same-day fail with no listed defect warrants a check of the full MOT certificate to rule out any overlooked paperwork anomaly. Prior owners kept the test outcomes clean, but the thin record implies minimal scrutiny rather than intensive care.
