2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · HT65 AEA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on 9 February 2026 at 70,812 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass indicates that any identified defects were rectified before the retest. The maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no recorded advisories or recurring faults across the last three testing cycles, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting the minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between February 2024 at 59,237 miles and January 2025 at 65,077 miles, the vehicle covered 5,840 miles. The subsequent interval saw 5,735 miles covered between January 2025 and February 2026. This steady, low-annual mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to rubber components or seals hardening due to lack of movement. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components most susceptible to age-related degradation despite the low mileage. Given the Renault Trafic platform age, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the chassis and mounting points is essential, as these vans are prone to moisture retention over time. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake discs for pitting or scoring, as infrequent use often prevents the brakes from cleaning themselves. Since the MOT history shows no specific mechanical failures, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained relative to its usage profile.
