2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MF16 AWV

The Renault Trafic presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 7 November 2025 at 144,544 miles, showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across recent tests, with passes in September 2024 and November 2025 both free of recorded advisories. Two earlier failures on 4 September 2024 at 142,681 miles and 10 October 2023 at 141,224 miles show no defects logged, a pattern that suggests procedural or administrative causes rather than escalating mechanical decay. Overall, the vehicle's documented condition has remained consistent. At roughly ten years old, the van has covered 144,544 miles, an average of about 14,454 miles per year, which is high for a 2016 model. The mileage accumulation slowed markedly in the recorded period. The test on 12 October 2023 at 141,269 miles preceded a fail two days later at 141,224, then a pass on 11 September 2024 at 142,683 miles, adding only 1,414 miles in eleven months. By the November 2025 test, the odometer read 144,544, a further 1,861 miles over fourteen months. Such low recent use implies the vehicle spent extended periods stationary, which can accelerate corrosion or degrade seals despite low wear on drivetrain components. Because the DVSA entries list no advisories or defects, the buyer cannot rely on recorded warnings for worn suspension bushes, pitted brake discs, binding calipers, or exhaust emission failures. A physical inspection should assess structural integrity, front coil springs, rear suspension bushes, and subframe corrosion. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust emission issues, yet standing vehicles often develop flat spots on tyres and perished wiper blades. The two fails without defects warrant direct questioning of the seller to confirm whether they stemmed from documentation errors or minor non-mechanical faults.
