2007 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · KC56 MGO

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a trend of worsening structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed the most recent test in October 2024 at 221,859 miles, this result followed a significant failure where critical structural integrity issues were identified. The October 2024 failure revealed excessive corrosion on the front suspension component mountings, which appeared to have been repaired and covered with underseal to achieve the subsequent pass. This suggests a reactive approach to structural rust rather than preventative maintenance, leaving the long-term viability of the chassis questionable. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 221,859 miles represents an annual average of approximately 11,677 miles, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a period of high activity between October 2023 and October 2024, with over 4,300 miles covered in that year. However, the consistent presence of the engine management light across multiple tests in both 2023 and 2024 indicates a persistent electronic fault that remains unaddressed despite repeated inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with corroded brake pipes across the bulkhead and along the fuel tank, which have been masked with grease to hide corrosion from testers. The braking system also shows a history of binding and imbalance, with the October 2024 test noting requirements were only just met. Furthermore, the steering rack inner joints and anti-roll bar bushes have been flagged for wear, indicating that the front suspension components are nearing the end of their functional life and will require imminent replacement.
