2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · MM16 FGK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in October 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. The recent October 2025 test initially recorded a failure at 88,024 miles due to thin front and rear brake pads along with insufficient parking brake efficiency. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the failure indicates the owner only addresses critical safety components once they reach inspection limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, with 8,567 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 8,470 miles recorded between September 2024 and October 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary standing, which generally benefits the seals and drivetrain, despite the age-related wear requiring inspection of rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and front geometry. The 2022 test at 61,010 miles flagged a nearside front suspension arm ball joint with play and a tyre worn on the edge. While these faults did not reappear in later tests, the recurring nature of mechanical failures suggests the suspension bushings and linkages should be checked for movement. Given the recent failure for thin pads and parking brake, verify the condition of the brake discs for glazing or thinning and ensure the handbrake mechanism is properly adjusted after the recent repairs.
