2021 Renault Trafic SL28 Sport Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · LT21 VGL

This 2021 Renault Trafic SL28 Sport Energy dCi presents a stable and improving maintenance picture following its most recent MOT on 11 June 2026 at 97,356 miles, where it passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. That clean sheet represents a marked turnaround from the June 2025 test at 68,949 miles, where the tester flagged front and rear brake pads wearing thin, both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, and discolouration on both rear direction indicators. The intervening period has seen all of those items addressed, suggesting the previous owner responded promptly to the advisories rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The vehicle has covered approximately 28,407 miles in the twelve months between June 2025 and June 2026, which is exceptionally high and well above the already elevated annual average of roughly 19,471 miles across its five-year life. That acceleration in usage rate places disproportionate stress on consumable components, particularly brake pads, discs, tyres, and suspension bushes. The gap between the March 2024 test at 45,752 miles and the June 2025 test at 68,949 miles shows 23,197 miles covered in just over fifteen months, confirming this van has been worked hard rather than sitting idle. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the front brake discs and pads given the repeated advisories on pad wear in the 2025 test, which at this mileage trajectory suggests the braking system is being cycled aggressively. The edge wear pattern noted on both front tyres in 2025 points to possible tracking or suspension bush degradation, so a thorough check of front suspension geometry, track rod ends, and wishbone bushes is warranted. The windscreen has appeared in two consecutive tests with a chip noted in March 2024 and damage recorded in June 2025, so inspect the screen carefully for any crack propagation that may have developed since the latest pass. Structurally, a van accumulating miles at this pace on UK roads should be examined underneath for corrosion to the chassis rails, outriggers, and around mounting points, as salt exposure combined with high annual mileage accelerates deterioration. The rear direction indicator discolouration flagged in 2025 may have been resolved, but functioning of all lighting should still be verified in person.
