2011 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · M800 ABC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-29 at 104,619 miles showed a PASS, but this test is over 15 months old relative to today’s date. Prior tests in 2024 and 2022 indicate a pattern of inconsistent compliance, with two failures and two passes recorded on the same day in 2025. No defects were noted in any test, which is unusual given the repeated failures. This suggests either data anomalies or potential oversights in testing, as failures typically require specific defects to be recorded. The absence of recorded issues despite multiple tests implies the vehicle may have been maintained to a basic standard, but the lack of recent inspection data raises concerns about its current roadworthiness. The mileage of 104,619 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,975 miles, which is typical for a 15-year-old vehicle. However, the gap between the 2024 test (100,998 miles) and the 2025 test (104,619 miles) reflects a 3,621-mile increase over 12 months, slightly below the historical average. This could indicate periods of reduced usage, potentially increasing the risk of component corrosion or fluid degradation. The minimal mileage fluctuations suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy wear, but the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into its mechanical health. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, as older vehicles often develop worn bushes or coil springs, which can affect handling. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these issues may not always trigger MOT failures. Structural rust, particularly in the chassis or body panels, is another critical area, given the vehicle’s age. The absence of recorded corrosion or emission issues in the MOT history is reassuring, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s overall condition.
