Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring corrosion issues on the brake lines and a history of neglected maintenance. While the van is currently roadworthy, you should budget for immediate remedial work on the remaining advisory items to avoid future failure.
When inspecting this van, prioritise the condition of the brake lines. The MOT history notes ongoing corrosion issues, which are a common weak point for high-mileage commercial vehicles exposed to road salt. Ensure that the vendor has addressed these advisories, as corroded lines can lead to sudden brake failure if left untreated.
Check the service history thoroughly to see if the coil springs and brake components were replaced as part of a proper repair or if they were 'patched' to clear the MOT. Given the history of electrical faults—such as inoperative lamps and washer systems—test every switch, light, and wiper function before agreeing to a price.
As a 2.3-litre diesel, the Renault Master is designed for heavy-duty work, meaning fuel economy will vary significantly based on load. You should expect typical commercial vehicle tax rates and insurance premiums, which are generally higher than passenger cars due to the vehicle's class.
Maintenance costs for a van of this age will likely be higher than average. With recurring issues like tyre wear and brake system corrosion, you should set aside a contingency fund for suspension and braking components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £2,200–£2,800 depending on your annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the undercarriage. Use a torch to check the brake pipes for flaking rust or signs of grease used to mask corrosion, as highlighted in the 2025 MOT advisories. Check the condition of the tyres, specifically the nearside rear, which has been flagged repeatedly for edge wear, indicating potential tracking or alignment issues.
Inspect the front suspension area, specifically the coil springs, given the major failure in 2025. Additionally, verify that all external marker lamps and registration plate lights are fully functional, as these have been frequent points of failure in the vehicle's history. Ensure the windscreen washer system is fully operational, as this was a recent major failure point.
This 2014 Renault Master has covered approximately 104,634 miles, which is considered low-to-average for a commercial vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of 'fail and fix' maintenance, with significant issues like fractured coil springs and corroded brake lines appearing in recent years. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT in September 2025, the persistent advisories regarding brake pipe corrosion suggest that the underbody requires professional inspection.
The Renault Master is a workhorse, but like many large vans, it is prone to corrosion and suspension wear when used heavily. There is no specific aggregate data available, but the MOT history for this specific unit highlights the importance of checking for deferred maintenance.
