2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · LX16 HVB

The vehicle is currently deemed roadworthy, having passed the 19 January 2026 MOT at 121,891 miles, but the same day the tester flagged off‑side rear and front position lamps as defective. No other faults were recorded, indicating that the major systems that previously caused failures have been remedied and the overall condition is stable, with only minor lighting items remaining outstanding. Mileage has risen sharply between the 16 April 2022 test (89,133 miles) and the 29 June 2023 test (121,882 miles), an increase of roughly 32,700 miles in just over a year – a rate exceeding 30,000 miles per annum and suggesting intensive use during that period. From mid‑2023 to early‑2026 the odometer barely moved, adding only nine miles, which points to a prolonged period of low activity or storage. The high‑use phase aligns with the brake‑related failures recorded in 2022, while the recent stagnation reduces further wear but does not erase the legacy of heavy mileage. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the braking system in person. The 2022 failure noted rear brake pads below 1.5 mm, front pads thin, and front discs significantly worn, together with service and parking brake efficiency below requirements. Measuring current pad thickness, inspecting disc surfaces for scoring, and confirming brake pedal feel will reveal whether the components have been replaced or remain near the end of their service life. The off‑side position lamp faults demand a functional check of both rear and front lighting circuits, and the wiper inefficiency flagged in 2022 should be reassessed to ensure adequate visibility in rain. Given the earlier high mileage, the suspension should be examined for worn bushes, cracked coil springs, or any signs of chassis corrosion that could have accumulated under load. Tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and wheel alignment merit inspection, as consumables deteriorate faster under heavy use. Confirming structural integrity of the body and checking for any rust around wheel arches will complete a thorough pre‑purchase assessment.
