2010 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · LS60 OPE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its May 2026 pass at 160,973 miles, though the maintenance trend is worsening. The most recent test sequence shows a failure on 14 May 2026 due to critically thin rear brake pads and an ABS fault, alongside warnings for pitted brake discs. While the ABS fault was rectified for the pass the following day, the remaining advisories for worn discs and thin front pads indicate a reactive approach to braking maintenance rather than a preventative one. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,061 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 145,878 miles in July 2023 to 160,973 miles in May 2026. This consistent usage suggests the van has remained in active service, though the accumulation of nearly 15,000 miles over the last three years has coincided with a rise in suspension and braking wear. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system. The recurring mentions of thin pads and pitted discs across the 2024 and 2026 tests suggest the brakes are nearing the end of their service life. The ABS fault flagged in May 2026 also warrants a check to ensure the repair was comprehensive and not a temporary fix. Attention must be paid to the front suspension and chassis. The July 2023 test flagged a severely deteriorated ball joint dust cover and chuffing injectors, while the June 2025 test noted play in the offside front suspension arm and track rod end. These repeated issues with steering and suspension components, combined with the reported corrosion on the aftermarket side step brackets in 2023, indicate a pattern of wear that requires verification to ensure structural integrity.
