2006 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · LV06 FEX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 4 December 2025 at 197,488 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The vehicle failed its tests in both November 2024 and November 2025, only to pass just days or weeks later in each instance. This suggests that the previous owner was reactive, addressing specific defects only when flagged by the tester rather than performing preventative maintenance between annual tests. At 197,488 miles over twenty years, the Traf has averaged approximately 9,874 miles per year. This figure is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 9,754 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This consistent usage indicates the vehicle is regularly operated, which often helps prevent the internal corrosion and seal degradation issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components, as the record does not detail the specific reasons for the recent failures. Given the high mileage and age, priority should be given to checking for structural integrity in the sills and wing mounting points where rust typically accumulates. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs, and examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear. Because the vehicle has failed tests twice recently, verifying the current state of the drivetrain and exhaust mounts is essential to ensure the recent clean MOT sheet is supported by a comprehensive mechanical overhaul.
