2020 Renault Trucks Master 35 MWB 2.3L Diesel · LT20 AZG

The Renault Trucks Master 35 MWB shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 16 June 2025 confirming no defects at 88,321 miles. The vehicle has passed all subsequent tests without fail, including the 2024 retest on 30 May, which followed a single failure in early May of that year. While the 2024 failure at 81,034 miles was unusual—no defects were recorded—it does not indicate a recurring mechanical issue, as the retest cleared the vehicle within days. The absence of advisories or repeated faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means hidden wear cannot be ruled out. The mileage pattern reveals aggressive usage, with the vehicle accumulating approximately 14,720 miles annually over the past six years. This is significantly higher than the average for a commercial vehicle of this age, particularly given the 11,000-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, which suggests either extended off-road use or prolonged periods of non-operation. The rapid mileage increase between 2023 (50,181 miles) and 2024 (81,215 miles) indicates consistent heavy usage, which may have accelerated wear on suspension components, drivetrain, and braking systems. The lack of a 2022 test is notable, as this could imply either a missed MOT or a period of non-use, though the subsequent tests show no evidence of severe neglect. Given the high mileage and commercial duty cycle, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of fatigue or uneven wear. The braking system warrants close examination, including rear brake binding (if the 2024 failure was related to brake adjustment) and the condition of brake discs and calipers, which may have experienced increased heat cycling. Structural integrity should also be assessed, with attention to underbody corrosion, especially around the frame rails and wheel arches, given the vehicle’s exposure to varying conditions. While the MOT record shows no overt failures, the aggressive mileage suggests these areas are at higher risk of premature degradation.
