2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · M9 LFJ

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 30 May 2025 at 99,299 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the available history from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle cleared each examination without mechanical advisories, and the lone anomaly of a failure on 3 June 2024 at 86,866 miles carried no listed defects and was superseded by a pass on the same date, pointing to an administrative rather than mechanical rejection. This pattern indicates consistent upkeep of core systems. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old van. The record shows 64,280 miles at the 7 June 2022 test, rising to 77,624 by 6 June 2023, then 86,866 on 3 June 2024, and 99,299 by May 2025. Annual increments of roughly 9,000 to 13,000 miles reflect steady service rather than prolonged standing or excessive fleet duty. The sparse but clean sequence of annual tests reveals no extended gaps that might mask latent corrosion or suspension degradation. Despite the absence of recorded advisories on brake discs, coil springs, suspension bushes, or structural integrity, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust emission faults, yet components such as rubber bushes and subframe mounts can degrade without triggering MOT failures at lower thresholds. Given the vehicle's age, careful scrutiny of underbody corrosion and drivetrain wear remains prudent. The earlier owner's history suggests disciplined servicing, but the unexplained 2024 failure warrants confirmation that all documentation is in order. Physical checks of tyre condition, wiper operation, and fluid levels should accompany any pre-sale assessment, though such consumables fall outside serious structural risk.
