2014 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · MA14 CVE

The 2014 Renault Master presents a stable and largely well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 3 April 2025 at 78,018 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly improving. A persistent electrical fault involving the nearside rear registration plate lamp and all direction indicators flashing excessively fast was flagged in both the November 2023 and April 2025 tests. This recurring advisory points to a likely underlying issue with the indicator relay, a poor earth connection, or a wiring fault that has persisted for at least eighteen months. Crucially, the vehicle passed its September 2022 test with zero defects, meaning this electrical gremlin is a recent development rather than a long-standing neglect issue. The most recent test confirms the core mechanical and structural integrity of the van remains sound. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a commercial vehicle of this age. Between the September 2020 test at 52,589 miles and the April 2025 test at 78,018 miles, the vehicle covered 25,429 miles over roughly four and a half years, averaging approximately 5,650 miles annually. This is slightly below the typical 6,502 miles per year suggested by the overall lifetime average, indicating the van may have seen lighter use or spent periods stationary in recent years. The mileage progression is steady with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest a rolled-back odometer or prolonged disuse. The record is clean and continuous, with no missed annual tests. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the electrical system and the general condition of the braking and suspension components. The persistent fast-flashing indicators and inoperative registration plate lamp require diagnosis. A simple relay swap or earth point clean may resolve it, but corroded wiring looms or water ingress into rear light units on a van of this age are common culprits. The advisory from September 2021 regarding a slightly damaged or perishing nearside rear tyre has long since been addressed, but it serves as a reminder to check the age and condition of all tyres, including the spare, given the vehicle's potential for standing. Inspect the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and thoroughly examine the chassis, suspension mounts, and structural outracks for any signs of corrosion or cracking, particularly if the van has been used for heavy loads or commercial work.
