2021 Renault Master LH35 B-Ness Energy DCI 2.3L Diesel · MA21 YLK

A pattern of escalating brake component wear and recent tyre degradation defines the current mechanical profile of this Renault Master, as evidenced by its most recent pass on 05 December 2025. While the vehicle cleared its April 2025 test without defects, it underwent a dangerous failure just eight months prior due to nearside rear inner brake pads being below the 1.5 mm legal threshold. The subsequent transition from a dangerous failure to advisories for both nearside and offside front brake pads being very low indicates a recurring requirement for brake service across multiple axles. This trend, combined with an advisory for a worn offside rear tyre, suggests that consumable components are reaching the end of their service life in quick succession. The recorded mileage of 64,244 miles over approximately five years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 12,849 miles. For a commercial vehicle of this type, this usage level is relatively high, suggesting consistent operational use rather than long periods of stationary storage. This level of mileage typically correlates with increased wear on heavy-duty components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. The frequency of the MOT tests, with results recorded in April 2024, April 2025, and December 2025, shows a regular inspection cycle that aligns with a vehicle in active service. Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the braking system during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the history of dangerous failures and multiple advisories for thin pads, it is essential to check the condition of the brake discs for excessive pitting or scoring, particularly on the nearside rear as previously noted. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises during deceleration and feel for any pedal judder or pulling to one side, which could indicate binding calipers or uneven pad wear. The advisory regarding the discoloured nearside rear direction indicator should also be visually inspected to ensure the lens is not cracked or structurally compromised, which could lead to moisture ingress. Attention must also be paid to the tyre condition and steering response. With the offside rear tyre recorded as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, there is a possibility of uneven tread wear which can stem from alignment issues. On the test drive, check for any steering pull or vibrations at motorway speeds that might suggest the need for a wheel alignment or replacement of suspension components. Given the high mileage and the recent focus on brake and tyre wear, a thorough check of the suspension linkages and any signs of fluid leaks around the braking components is warranted to ensure the vehicle's structural and mechanical integrity is maintained.
