2019 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · ML19 WHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing suspension component wear. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026, the record shows a critical failure occurred just one month prior due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. The repair of the spring resolved the immediate safety risk, but the misting shock absorber suggests the seal is nearing the end of its functional life and may require replacement to prevent failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of distance, covering 8,501 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,557 miles between March 2025 and May 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the seals within the engine and the movement of the braking system. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the misting shock absorber has actually been addressed or if the leak is worsening. The 2024 failure flagged a binding front service brake and uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre, which indicates potential alignment issues or a sticking caliper piston. You must verify the current condition of the brake discs and check for even wear patterns across all tyres to ensure these previous mechanical faults were fully rectified rather than merely masked.
