2007 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · JRB 772N

The 2007 Renault Master shows a history of reactive maintenance punctuated by significant structural and mechanical concerns. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 223,369 miles passed, the vehicle exhibited a severely deteriorated offside front inner drive shaft CV boot and seepage from the steering rack boots. These issues follow a 2024 test at 215,745 miles where the tester identified play in the steering rack inner joints and corroded brake pipes. The trend suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than through a preventative schedule. With 223,369 miles recorded over 19 years, the vehicle averages approximately 11,756 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial-use profile. However, the failure in November 2023 at 206,514 miles reveals a critical structural integrity issue. The tester flagged excessive corrosion on the rear suspension spring mountings that reduced structural strength and threatened to affect vehicle control. This specific failure also coincided with a weakened seat belt, incorrect headlamp aim, and poor brake efficiency, indicating a period where basic safety and maintenance upkeep were neglected. The braking system shows a recurring pattern of wear, with front and rear brake discs being noted as pitted or scored across 2022, 2023, and 2024 records. While these did not result in immediate failures, the presence of corroded brake pipes in 2024 indicates high vulnerability for the hydraulic lines. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the chassis for further structural rust, ensure the mounting corrosion identified in 2023 has not progressed, and verify that the steering rack seepage noted in the latest entry has been properly rectified or monitored.
