2018 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · ML18 YSF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in June 2025 at 120,490 miles flagged a significant increase in advisories compared to previous years. While the vehicle passed, the accumulation of multiple tyre defects, lighting failures, and early-stage suspension wear indicates that components are only being addressed once they reach a legal limit or point of failure. The mileage history reflects a high-mileage profile, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 24,810 miles, indicating heavy commercial use or frequent long-distance commuting. This consistent high mileage puts substantial strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The recurring pattern of tyres worn to the legal limit across multiple tests suggests that the owners have neglected routine preventative inspections, relying instead on the annual MOT to identify the need for new rubber. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the June 2025 test identified a worn offside suspension arm pin or bush. Given the recurring reports of tyres worn on the outer edges, there is a high probability of misalignment issues or worn shock absorbers that will continue to accelerate tyre degradation. The buyer should also verify the condition of the front registration plate and the side repeater lenses, as these were flagged as deteriorated or discoloured. At this mileage, a check for structural corrosion on the chassis and an assessment of the overall integrity of the brake system components are essential before proceeding with the purchase.
