2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · ML15 TWP

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 141,836 miles identified thin brake pads on both axles along with pitted and scored discs across all corners. This follows a persistent pattern of brake component degradation since 2022 and 2023, suggesting the owner only replaces friction materials when they reach the point of failure or inspection threshold. At 141,836 miles over eleven years, this Renault Trafic averages approximately 12,900 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial or utility use. The mileage accumulation is steady; between February 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered over 3,000 miles in roughly 22 months. This high mileage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the recurring mechanical issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside shock absorber showed oil misting in 2023 and was never confirmed as replaced. The recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the brake discs indicate prolonged exposure to moisture or salt without cleaning, which can lead to structural thinning. You should check the offside front tyre for uneven wear, as the 2025 test flagged it as being worn on the edge, often indicating an alignment issue or worn suspension bushings.
