2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · ML68 ACF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2025 at 67,045 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a significant technical failure on that same date due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light. The fact that this fault was rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner addressed critical electronic warnings when they arose. Since that clearance, no further structural defects or mechanical advisories have surfaced, indicating a clean current status. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for moderate purposes, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a clear progression of 12,288 miles between the September 2022 and October 2023 tests, followed by another 15,867 miles between late 2023 and early 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of seals, hoses, and brake components that can suffer fromrelated seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the September 2022 test at 38,890 miles flagged thin rear brake pads. While the vehicle passed since, a manual check of the remaining pad thickness and disc surface condition is necessary to ensure wear hasn't accelerated. Given the previous failure regarding the engine malfunction indicator light, a diagnostic scan is also recommended to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine management system that could indicate intermittent sensor issues in the future. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or recurring suspension failures, which is a positive sign for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, with the mileage increasing, the buyer should still verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on the Trafic that do not always trigger an MOT advisory until they reach a critical state of failure.
