2018 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · ML68 ADO

The vehicle shows a declining maintenance trend based on the available MOT data. While the most recent recorded test in September 2022 resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed that same day due to several preventable issues. The transition from the 2021 test to the 2022 test shows a shift from minor lighting and tyre wear to more significant concerns regarding the braking system. The recorded mileage of 141,896 miles at the September 2022 test indicates heavy usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the van covered 41,059 miles, which averages to over 3,400 miles per month. This high rate of accumulation suggests significant commercial use, placing increased stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. The lack of any recorded MOT data between September 2022 and the current date of July 2026 is a major concern, as the vehicle is currently overdue for testing. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The September 2022 test flagged both thin front brake pads and a brake hydraulic reservoir sitting near the minimum mark. These faults suggest that previous maintenance was reactive rather than preventative. You should check the condition of the brake discs, the integrity of the hydraulic lines, and ensure the fluid level is correct. The history also highlights issues with consumable items and electrical components. The 2022 failure for a cut in the nearside rear tyre and the 2021 advisory for a worn offside front tyre indicate that tyre maintenance has been inconsistent. Given the high mileage and the heavy usage pattern, a detailed inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre tread depth across all four wheels is essential to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards.
