2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · LD65 HSX

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 13 January 2026 at 110,984 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than preventative, as the most recent test required immediate repairs to a position lamp and the offside front track rod end to rectify failures. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection without advisories, the history shows a pattern of addressing faults only at the point of MOT testing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 99,802 miles in January 2024 to 110,984 miles in January 2026. This gradual progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which generally helps prevent seized components, though it does mean standard wear on consumables is expected. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with the suspension and lighting. The offside rear coil spring showed corrosion in both the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, suggesting that while it may have been addressed, the area remains a point of interest for structural integrity. The track rod end also failed in both January 2025 and January 2026, indicating that steering components are a recurring maintenance requirement for this vehicle. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking for further corrosion on the coil springs and the condition of all ball joints and tie rods. Given the history of lighting failures, including registration plate lamps and position lamps, a complete check of the electrical system and bulb integrity is advisable. The recent failure of the track rod end suggests that the steering geometry and associated bushes should be examined for excessive play.
