2015 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · JV02 CON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 50,086 miles passed, it revealed emerging steering geometry issues involving the offside track rod end and the nearside front inner tie rod. These faults, alongside a corroded offside front brake pipe obscured by grease, indicate that mechanical components are beginning to show age and wear that is only addressed once they reach a threshold of failure. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 50,086 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,550 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation rather than wear from distance, particularly regarding rubber-based components. The record supports this with multiple advisories for perishing and cracking tyres in both 2023 and 2024, as well as uneven wear on the nearside front. This suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to dry rot and seized seals despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and suspension system, as the presence of play in ball joints suggests the need for a comprehensive overhaul to ensure lateral stability. The corroded brake pipe is a specific area of concern; the presence of grease often indicates an attempt to hide surface rust that could lead to sudden fluid loss. Furthermore, the failure in March 2023 due to an inoperative MIL light and multiple bulb failures highlights that basic electrical upkeep and bulb management were neglected, necessitating a careful check of the headlamp switch and wiring looms.
