2022 Renault Master LL35 Business DCI 2.3L Diesel · MD22 YCU

A recurring pattern of tyre damage and lighting defects characterizes this vehicle's recent inspection history, indicating a susceptibility to roadside hazards or potentially inconsistent pre-MOT checks. While the most recent test on 12 August 2026 resulted in a pass, the vehicle underwent a failure just five days prior due to multiple major defects including non-functional outline marker lamps, a faulty rear fog lamp, and a nearside rear tyre with a cut deep enough to reach the cords. The trend shows a persistent issue with tyre integrity, with multiple advisories for cuts in various tyres dating back to July 2025, suggesting that the vehicle's operating environment may be prone to debris or sharp surfaces. The recorded mileage of 34,474 miles over approximately four years represents a consistent usage profile, averaging roughly 8,618 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is typical for a commercial vehicle of this class and suggests the engine and drivetrain have been subjected to regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty haulage. Mechanically, this means the vehicle should not be suffering from the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial work, but the components will have undergone enough cycles to require attention to consumables like tyres and brake pads. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection and test drive. The latest advisory specifically flags the front brake pads as wearing thin, which follows a history of tyre-related failures. On a test drive, listen for any grinding noises during deceleration and check for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven pad wear or disc deterioration. Given the history of cuts to the tyre sidewalls, a close visual inspection of all four tyres is essential to ensure no further structural damage or bulges exist that were not captured in the most recent assessment. Furthermore, the recent failure of the outline marker lamps and the rear fog lamp suggests that the electrical lighting circuit should be thoroughly verified. Ensure all exterior lighting, including the high-mount stop lamp and all indicator functions, operates without flickering or intermittent failure. Because the vehicle has a history of tyre sidewall damage, check the wheel arches and suspension components for any signs of impact damage that might have occurred alongside these tyre defects. Any unusual knocking or pulling to one side during steering manoeuvres should be investigated, as repeated impacts that cause tyre cuts can sometimes affect wheel alignment or suspension bushings.
