2006 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · KX06 AEV

The 2006 Renault Master’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-02 at 126,415 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. However, the pattern of MOT outcomes reveals instability, with two failures in 2024-07-08 (122,143 miles) and 2021-10-14 (118,486 miles), both without recorded defects. These failures suggest potential recurring issues that were resolved between tests, as the subsequent 2024-07-22 MOT at 122,236 miles passed. The lack of specific defect details limits analysis, but the frequency of failures raises questions about the vehicle’s mechanical consistency. The mileage of 126,415 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 6,321 annual miles, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 15-month interval between the 2021-10-14 failure and the 2023-07-04 pass, during which mileage increased by just 96 miles. This suggests periods of inactivity or minimal use, which could contribute to component degradation, such as corrosion or seized mechanisms. The 2024-07-08 failure occurred just 14 days before the subsequent pass, implying rapid resolution of issues, though the absence of defect details prevents confirmation of specific repairs. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and potential for wear. The rear brakes warrant scrutiny, as binding calipers or worn brake discs could cause intermittent failures. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion in the chassis or body panels may have developed during periods of inactivity. While the MOT records show no major defects in the last two years, the earlier failures highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify latent issues not captured in the test outcomes.
