2014 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · LD14 BCY

The 2025‑10‑30 MOT at 205,906 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. Earlier failures on 2025‑09‑19 (205,696 miles) and 2024‑09‑13 (178,925 miles) show that remedial work was required before those tests, but the October 2025 result indicates a stabilising maintenance trend rather than ongoing decline. The mileage profile reflects heavy use for a 12‑year‑old van: 205,906 miles translate to about 17,159 miles per year, well above the average for its age. The jump from 178,925 miles in September 2024 to 205,696 miles in September 2025 represents an increase of 26,771 miles in twelve months, and the subsequent rise to 205,906 miles in October 2025 shows continued high‑intensity operation with minimal idle time. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the mechanical items that have repeatedly surfaced in the test record. Inspection of the suspension—especially the condition of the bushes and coil springs—and a close check of the rear brake calipers for binding are essential, as previous failures highlighted these areas. Examination of the chassis and wheel‑arch regions for structural rust, verification of exhaust condition and emissions compliance, and assessment of brake disc wear complete the due‑diligence checklist.
