2017 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · LP66 HEV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs regarding minor wear items. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 117,045 miles passed, it followed a significant failure in December 2025. That failure highlighted multiple issues including ineffective wipers, low washer pressure, and excessively worn offside front suspension bushes. Although the tester noted the nearside bush was only worn in the subsequent January test, the recurring nature of suspension faults suggests that components are only addressed once they fail rather than through preventative maintenance. The Master has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year. There is a notable acceleration in usage between January 2024 and January 2025, where the vehicle clocked 11,718 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of accumulation places consistent stress on the drivetrain and heavy-duty suspension. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows a similar jump of over 23,000 miles, indicating a consistent and heavy-use profile typical of a commercial vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record specifically flagged inner suspension arm bushes multiple times in recent months, which can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not fully replaced. Additionally, the nearside rear wheel bearing noted as noisy in early 2024 should be checked for play or grinding noises, as the history also shows pitted rear brake discs as far as 2022. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, checking the chassis sills for structural corrosion is essential, as these areas are prone to degradation on this model after years of heavy use.
