Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent techn
When inspecting this specific Renault Trafic, your priority should be the diesel exhaust aftertreatment system. The 2026 MOT failure specifically noted a minor exhaust gas leak near the AdBlue injector; ensure this has been professionally repaired and is not a recurring issue, as AdBlue-related faults can be costly on Euro 6 engines.
Ask the seller for evidence of the repairs made following the June 2026 failure. You should also check the engine management system to ensure the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issue noted in the failure report has been fully resolved and that no warning lights remain active on the dashboard. Finally, verify the service history to see if the routine maintenance required for a high-use diesel van has been kept up to date.
As a 2.0L Euro 6 diesel, this vehicle is designed for efficiency in commercial use, though actual fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style. Being a 2021 model, it meets current ULEZ and Clean Air Zone standards, which helps avoid daily charges in many UK cities.
Maintenance costs for this model typically include regular oil changes and inspections of the braking system, which was noted as slightly worn in 2024. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance, to fall in the range of £1,800-£2,400 depending on annual mileage.
Focus heavily on the exhaust and emissions components. The most recent MOT failure (June 2026) highlighted a leak near the AdBlue injector and an inoperative engine MIL; you must confirm these specific faults were addressed. Check the area under the bonnet for any signs of residue or smells that might indicate a persistent exhaust leak.
Additionally, inspect the tyres and lighting. While the 2025 failure regarding a nail in the tyre and headlamp aim has passed, it is worth checking the overall condition of the rubber and the alignment of the headlights. Lastly, check the brake discs, as the 2024 record showed them being slightly worn or corroded.
This 2021 Renault Trafic SL28 B-Ness Energy DCI is a white diesel van with 52,898 miles on the clock. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures, most recently in June 2026 involving the exhaust and engine management systems. While it has passed its tests, the presence of an AdBlue injector leak and an engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issue suggests potential complexities in its recent maintenance history.
