2007 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · KN07 ADE

The 2007 Renault Trafic currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on October 25 2024 at 189,096 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety standards. While the vehicle suffered a failure in October 2023, the immediate re-pass suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified mechanical issues rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 129,844 miles and October 2024 at 189,096 miles, the vehicle covered over 60,000 miles, reflecting a steady usage profile. The jump of nearly 18,000 miles between the October 2022 and 2023 tests shows the vehicle remains in regular use, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake components associated with long periods of standing. Despite the clean record of the most recent tests, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components prone to wear on high-mileage Renault vans. The high mileage necessitates a close look at structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and subframe for corrosion, where rust often develops on this generation. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of excessive play or fatigue, as these frequently fail after the 150,000-mile mark. Checking for binding calipers or uneven wear on discs is also advisable to ensure the clean MOT result reflects the current state of the braking system.
