2014 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · MA14 CVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 42,350 miles resulted in a failure due to significant parking brake deficiencies, including an inoperative offside brake. While the vehicle passed a retest just thirty miles later at 42,373 miles, the initial failure suggests the owner only addressed the minimum requirements to pass rather than investigating the underlying mechanical health of the braking system. The record shows exceptionally low mileage for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 37,759 miles and July 2025 at 42,373 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,614 miles. This low usage often leads to secondary issues such as surface corrosion on metal components and seized caliper pistons, which is consistent with the recurring reports of binding front brakes and worn rear discs despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the records from 2022 through 2024 consistently flag thin front pads and binding or worn discs. The 2025 failure regarding the parking brake efficiency indicates that the mechanism or cables may be stretched or neglected due to lack of use. You should also check for pitting on the brake discs and inspect the calipers, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from environmental degradation that does not show up on an odometer alone.
