2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MF67 WPO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 256,296 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of mechanical failure in early 2025. While the vehicle required immediate repairs to meet standards, the subsequent clean pass indicates that the previous owner addressed the identified faults promptly, bringing the vehicle back to a baseline level of operation. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging over 32,000 miles per annum. Between January 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 19,538 miles in just thirteen months, indicating heavy commercial use or long-distance motorway transit. This rate of accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components. The consistent annual interval between tests suggests the vehicle has been in constant use rather than sitting stationary, which often prevents certain fluid degradation. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry given the high mileage history. The February 2025 failure involving a nearside track rod end ball joint and a fractured offside rear coil spring highlights that the suspension components are subjected to heavy loads. You should check for signs of premature wear in the bushes, control arms, and dampers, which often degrade rapidly at these mileage figures. Additionally, the high mileage necessitates an inspection of the brake discs for thinning and the exhaust mounting points to ensure that the heavy use has not compromised structural integrity.
