2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MF16 AVT

The 2016 Renault Trafic demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, recorded on 2026-03-12 at 141,765 miles, which showed no defects. The prior test on 2025-03-21 also passed, though a conflicting failure entry for the same date and mileage complicates interpretation. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 similarly showed no defects, suggesting consistent maintenance. No recurring mechanical issues or advisories were flagged, indicating the vehicle has met regulatory standards without significant concerns. The mileage progression reveals a high annual average of 14,176 miles over its 10-year lifespan, with steady increases between tests: 96,847 (2023) to 128,491 (2024), then 136,832 (2025), and 141,765 (2026). This consistent usage pattern suggests regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity, which may accelerate wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The absence of mileage-related defects in the record is positive, though the high annual figure warrants scrutiny of wear on consumables and drivetrain elements. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of excessive brake pad wear, suspension bush deterioration, or exhaust system corrosion, as these are common in high-mileage vans. While no structural rust or critical faults were noted in MOTs, the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential. Pay particular attention to the rear brakes, as binding or uneven wear could indicate alignment issues or worn calipers. Additionally, check for fluid leaks and the condition of the exhaust system, which may not be fully captured in standard MOT checks.
