2020 Renault Trafic SL28 Sport Energy DCI A 2.0L Diesel · LL70 MXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in October 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test at 39,251 miles passed, the failure recorded just five days prior at 39,178 miles highlighted multiple safety-critical defects. The trend suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical and consumable faults once they triggered a formal MOT failure, rather than performing routine servicing between annual intervals. At 39,251 miles over six years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with light-use commercial applications. The data shows a significant gap of 12,817 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. While the low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the recurring failures of brake components and shock absorbers indicate that the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods or suffered from age-related degradation despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The October 2025 failure flagged an offside front shock absorber with a serious fluid leak and thin brake pads on both axles. Since these items were likely replaced to pass the subsequent test, an inspector should check for signs of new leaks or uneven pad wear. Furthermore, the recurring issue with the nearside front tyre wearing on the edge across 2024 and 2025 suggests a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require professional rectification to prevent further premature tyre failure.
