2020 Renault Trafic SL28 Sport Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · LB70 SVV

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following an initial failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 1 April 2026 at 128,542 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum DVSA standards. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests that the vehicle is currently maintained in good order despite its high usage. The mileage profile is significantly high for a six-year-old van, averaging over 21,000 miles per year. A notable period of intensive use occurred between November 2023 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered 39,214 miles in just 16 months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial or long-distance use, which typically accelerates the wear rate on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. While the MOT records are clean, the sheer volume of miles means that components are nearing the end of their service life. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most affected by high-mileage stress. Pay close attention to the front control arm bushes, dampers, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or tearing. Given the high mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs and check for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers. Although the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, the chassis should be inspected for surface rust around the mounting points and exhaust hangers, as high-use vans are often exposed to harsher road conditions and heavy loads.
