2011 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · ML11 LLC

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status because the MOT history shows a pattern of inconsistent preparation. The most recent test on 11 August 2022 at 140,980 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects recorded in the summary, which suggests a critical failure to meet basic safety standards or a significant lapse in mechanical integrity. While the vehicle passed in 2021, the recurring failures indicate that the owner only addresses issues when forced by testing requirements rather than performing preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 140,980 miles over 15 years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 9,400 miles, which aligns with typical expectations for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage with roughly 6,000 miles covered between August 2020 and August 2022. However, there is a concerning gap in records as the last recorded test took place nearly four years ago. As of June 2026, the vehicle has operated without a certified inspection for an extended period, significantly increasing the risk of undetected corrosion, perished rubber components, or failing structural components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the lack of recent documented care. Given the history of failures, close attention is required regarding the chassis for structural rust around the mounting points and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or worn discs, as the previous record suggests a reactive approach to repairs. Without a recent MOT to verify emissions and fluid leaks, the mechanical state of the drivetrain and exhaust system remains an unknown financial risk.
