2008 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · LX58 XCP

The 2025‑09‑16 MOT at 174,777 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle remains road‑worthy and that the maintenance record is stable. All five DVSA tests since September 2022 have shown no recorded defects, confirming a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage of 174,777 miles at an age of 18 years translates to roughly 9,710 miles per year, which aligns with normal usage for a 2008 Trafic. The intervals between tests – one year between 2022 and 2023, another year to 2024, and a six‑month gap before the 2025 retest – show regular testing rather than long periods of inactivity or abrupt mileage gain. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs are free of scoring, and examine the chassis and floor pan for any structural rust or corrosion. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive smoke, and tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition should be confirmed as they are common consumable items. Overall, the vehicle’s documented history suggests reliable maintenance and no major mechanical concerns, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the highlighted components is essential before purchase.
