2019 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MD19 XOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 85,636 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, moving from a period of minor defects in 2024 to a clean sheet in 2025. While the most recent test noted bodywork damage, the absence of mechanical or structural failures suggests that the core components have been maintained to a functional standard over recent years. The vehicle has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is typical for a commercial Traf of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent usage, with an 8,529-mile gap between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 8,472 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This regular operation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent brake components from seizing and seals from degrading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly given the faults recorded in April 2024. The tester previously identified oil misting on the offside front shock absorber and play in the nearside track rod end. Although these were not flagged in subsequent tests, high-mileage vans experience accelerated wear on rubber bushes and dampers. It is necessary to verify whether these components were replaced or if they are currently showing signs of further degradation. The bodywork damage noted in the April 2026 test requires close scrutiny to ensure it has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis or frame. Given the high mileage, an inspection of the drivetrain for leaks and a check of the brake disc thickness would also be advisable. While the MOT history shows a pattern of passing, the heavy-duty nature of the vehicle means a thorough check of the suspension and mounting points is essential before purchase.
