2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · JB11 NDS

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 August 2025 at 76,816 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 pass came one day after a failure on 12 August 2025 at the same mileage, though the tester logged no defects on either entry. A similar pattern occurred on 10 June 2024, when the van failed and passed on the same day at 68,145 miles with no defects recorded. These same-day fail-pass pairs with zero listed faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical defects, and no advisories or corrosion, brake, or suspension concerns appear anywhere in the record. The mileage progression supports light commercial use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The May 2023 test at 61,898 miles, the June 2024 test at 68,145 miles, and the August 2025 test at 76,816 miles show annual additions of roughly 6,000 to 8,700 miles, below the implied average of 7,682 per year. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps emerge between tests, and the sparse, clean record indicates the previous keeper kept the van within sensible limits and addressed requirements promptly enough to avoid recorded advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Same-day fail-pass entries with no defects recorded warrant confirmation that the correct vehicle and test procedures were used, not a skipped rectification. Given the Trafic's age, examine front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear the annual test may not have flagged as advisory, and check the underbody and sills for structural corrosion common on vans of this era. The absence of recorded faults across three years and 14,918 miles implies consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Verify service history against the low mileage to confirm cambelt and fluid intervals were met, as standing or light use can mask deterioration in rubber and brake components not captured by the MOT.
