2020 Renault Trucks Master 35 LWB 2.3L Diesel · LT20 AYY

The Renault Trucks Master 35 LWB passed its most recent MOT test on 20 June 2024 at 121,055 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, as the previous test on 23 June 2023 at 92,322 miles also yielded a clean pass with no issues. While the absence of faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained to MOT standards, the lack of advisories in either test means critical components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—were not flagged for imminent failure. However, the 12-month intervals between tests are standard, so no deterioration can be confirmed between them. The recorded mileage of 121,055 miles over approximately 6 years equates to an average of 20,176 miles annually, which is unusually high for a commercial vehicle of this age. The gap between tests—29,733 miles in a year—implies either consistent heavy use or prolonged periods without intermediate servicing. The absence of advisories in either test suggests that, if serviced regularly, major wear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension may still have some life remaining, though accelerated mileage increases the likelihood of hidden wear in these areas. The lack of earlier MOT records prevents a fuller assessment of long-term maintenance habits, but the recent clean passes do not indicate neglect. Given the high mileage and the absence of advisories in the last two tests, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage can accelerate lining and pad degradation. Tyre condition is critical—failing twice on tread in a previous test (if any) would suggest basic upkeep was skipped, so tread depth, sidewall integrity, and dual-tyre balance should be verified. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, as commercial vehicles are particularly susceptible to structural weakening from road salt and moisture over time. A thorough check of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust is also advisable, given the vehicle’s age and exposure.
