2004 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · HV04 HUJ

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 164,161 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for an ineffective offside windscreen wiper. This indicates that the minor consumable issue was addressed immediately. The absence of recorded defects in the December 2024 test further suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained operating within acceptable parameters recently. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 164,161 miles represents an average usage of approximately 7,462 miles per year. The data shows very consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,300 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025, and approximately 3,100 miles between November 2023 and December 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which is often beneficial for the integrity of rubber seals, hoses, and braking components in an older van. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay for the front oil leak noted in November 2023 at 156,549 miles. While the tester flagged it as not excessive at that time, a physical inspection is required to determine if the leak has worsened or remained stable. Given the age of the Renault Trafic, a check of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and exhaust hangers, is essential as these areas are common points of failure for this model that are not always captured until they become critical.
