2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · LX18 VBK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026 at 131,815 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the most recent failure was due to a minor nearside headlamp defect which was rectified immediately for the passing test. This suggests the owner is willing to address faults once flagged, though the history indicates an occasional lack of proactive mechanical oversight. At 131,815 miles over eight years, this Renault Trafic has clocked an average of approximately 16,500 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, heavy use, with 11,670 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 6,859 miles recorded in the final year leading to the 2026 test. This high mileage is typical for a commercial vehicle but places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components compared to lower mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the May 2025 test at 124,956 miles flagged the front brake discs as pitted and scored. While the tester deemed them not seriously weakened at that time, the high mileage suggests the calipers and pads may be nearing the end of life. Given the consistent mileage accumulation, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential to ensure the heavy annual use has not compromised the structural integrity or caused excessive wear.
