Our Verdict

Proceed with caution but generally a sound option for a newer commercial vehicle. While the MOT history shows a single failure at 17,213 miles, the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage suggest it is still in the early stages of its lifecycle.

Given that this is a 2023 model, your primary focus should be on the manufacturer's warranty status. Ensure that any service intervals required by Renault have been met to maintain this coverage. Because the MOT history shows a failure at 17,213 miles without listed defects, ask the seller for the specific reason for that failure and the subsequent repair invoice.

When viewing the vehicle, check the load area for signs of heavy commercial use, such as excessive wear to the floor or interior panels. Since this is a 2.3L diesel engine, verify that the AdBlue system and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) have been maintained correctly, especially if the van has been used for short urban trips.

As a 2298cc diesel engine, the Renault Master is designed for efficiency under load, though actual fuel economy will depend heavily on payload and driving style. Tax bands for this model vary based on specific CO2 emissions, so check the exact VED rate for this registration.

Insurance groups for the Advance trim typically fall into a mid-range category for commercial vehicles. Maintenance costs will involve standard diesel servicing, but you should budget for the replacement of wear items like brake pads and tyres, which can be more expensive on larger L3/L4 chassis models.

The most critical item to investigate is the cause of the MOT failure in February 2025. Even though no specific defects were recorded in the summary, you must confirm whether the failure was related to lighting, tyres, or braking components to understand the vehicle's maintenance pattern.

Inspect the suspension components and steering linkage, as these are common wear areas on commercial vans. Additionally, check the white paintwork for any signs of panel damage or mismatched colours that might indicate previous repairs, and ensure the diesel fuel system shows no signs of leaks around the engine bay.

This 2023 Renault Master LM35 Advance Blue dCi is a relatively recent addition to the road, first registered in November 2023. With 17,213 miles recorded at its February 2025 MOT, it has been used more intensively than a typical private car but remains low-mileage for a commercial van of this age. The MOT history is sparse, consisting of only one recorded failure with no specific defects listed in the summary, which requires further investigation.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Renault Master LM35 Advance Blue dCi to provide a statistical trend.
