2019 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · KD68 KDN

This Renault Master presents a remarkably clean record of roadworthiness, having maintained a consistent pass rate without a single recorded defect or advisory across its testing history. Even with a failure recorded on 3 May 2025, the vehicle was brought to a passing standard by 6 May 2025, maintaining a stable mechanical trajectory. The total absence of chronic advisories suggests that critical safety components have been managed to meet DVSA standards throughout its operational life. The recorded mileage of 298,019 miles is exceptionally high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 42,574 miles per year. Such an accumulation rate indicates intensive commercial usage, likely involving sustained long-distance transit. Mechanically, this level of wear places significant demand on the drivetrain, engine internals, and turbocharger, while the chassis and suspension components have been subjected to far more stress than a typical vehicle of this age. Despite the clean MOT history, the extreme mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of the drivetrain. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal turbocharger whine or rhythmic knocking from the engine bay that could indicate internal wear. Pay close attention to the gear transitions to ensure there is no slipping or hesitation, which would be common given the high operational hours on the transmission. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension and steering geometry. While no defects are listed in the DVSA records, a vehicle with nearly 300,000 miles is prone to wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs. Feel for any excessive vibration through the steering wheel or audible knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, and check for any steering pull that might suggest misalignment or worn linkages.
