2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MJ65 XGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing steering-related wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 56,907 miles identified slight play in both the nearside and offside track rod end ball joints. While the vehicle passed despite these advisories, they indicate that steering components are reaching the end of their functional life and will require attention shortly to prevent a failure in future inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,173 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2022 at 33,215 miles and January 2025 at 51,899 miles, where the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles in just two years. This burst of activity follows a period of much lower use, which can sometimes lead to degraded rubber components or seized brake calipers, though the overall low mileage suggests the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine remains relatively minimal. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension for signs of play beyond the track rod ends, specifically checking if the 2022 report of a distorted nearside rear road wheel has caused uneven tyre wear or alignment issues. The January 2025 failure regarding the stop lamp and fog lamp was rectified quickly, suggesting the owner is responsive to basic electrical and lighting faults. Given the low mileage, focus the inspection on surface corrosion on the chassis and brake lines, which often affects vehicles that sit for extended periods.
