2004 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · LV04 HBU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 June 2025 at 151,380 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently cleared the requirements despite previous failures. The presence of failures in both 2024 and 2025 suggests that minor defects are being identified and rectified immediately prior to re-tests, rather than indicating a systemic mechanical collapse. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,881 miles per year. Between the June 2023 and the July 2024 tests, the vehicle covered 3,886 miles, followed by another 2,235 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This lower annual mileage suggests relatively light use or potential periods of stationary time, which often benefits the drivetrain by preserving rubber components and preventing brake components from seizing. Despite the clean recent pass result, a buyer must focus a physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points, as vehicles of this age are prone to significant corrosion. Given the recurring failures that did not result in recorded defects, the buyer should verify the condition of minor items like light bulbs or fluid leaks that may have triggered previous failures. Close inspection of the brake lines and suspension bushes is essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked age-related degradation of perishable materials.
