2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · HT16 LXZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 3 December 2025 at 147,667 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following three consecutive years of clean passes. This suggests that whatever issues caused the failure in early December 2022 were successfully rectified, and the vehicle has since maintained a high standard of operation without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 14,700 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between December 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 5,290 miles, showing a more recent usage pattern of roughly 2,600 miles annually. This consistent accumulation of mileage places significantly higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples, yet the lack of advisories in the most recent tests indicates that the previous owners have likely been proactive in addressing wear before it reached failure threshold. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. Given the 147,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for leaks or perished rubber is essential. The braking system should also be evaluated for signs of binding calipers or thin discs, as high-mileage transit often accelerates hardware wear. Finally, inspecting the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion corrosion is vital to ensure the heavy-duty nature of the Trafic has not compromised the vehicle's frame.
