2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · HT16 JMX

The 2026‑02‑23 MOT at 83,892 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding 2026‑02‑19 test recorded a parking brake efficiency below 50 % and thin near‑side front pads, but the subsequent repair eliminated those faults, showing an improving maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. Mileage has risen from 39,986 miles in the 2020‑10‑01 test to 83,892 miles in the 2026‑02‑23 test, an average of roughly 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2016 model. The intervals between tests are consistent, with no extended periods of inactivity; mileage increments of 9‑10 k miles per year are evident from 2021 through 2025, indicating regular operation rather than long‑term storage. A buyer should therefore inspect the parking brake mechanism for proper adjustment and efficiency, examine front and rear brake pads and discs for uneven wear, pitting or scoring, and verify that calipers are not binding. Particular attention to the rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers is advisable, as previous advisories highlighted rear‑axle brake imbalance and near‑side marker lamp failures that often correlate with suspension or mounting corrosion. Finally, check for structural rust on the chassis, especially around wheel arches and the off‑side rear section, confirm that tyre tread depth and wiper condition meet current standards, and ensure that any previously noted brake repairs were executed to a high standard, as recurring brake‑related failures suggest possible underlying component fatigue.
