2023 Renault Trafic LL30 Sport Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · MM72 RXF

The most recent DVSA MOT, conducted on 17 December 2025, was passed without any failures. The only notation was an advisory concerning a smooth‑wearing brake pedal (1.1.2 (c)), which does not constitute a safety defect. With a single MOT record available, the vehicle shows a stable maintenance pattern to date, but the advisory suggests that the braking system should be examined closely at the next service to confirm that the pedal wear has not progressed to a point where driver feedback is compromised. At 48 645 miles recorded in September 2026 the van is roughly three years old, giving an average annual mileage of about 16 200 miles. This is considerably above the typical UK fleet average of 10‑12 000 miles per year and indicates a relatively high usage rate. Such mileage accumulation accelerates wear on consumables such as tyre tread, brake pads and discs, clutch plates, and suspension components. It also suggests that the engine and gearbox have been subject to sustained load cycles, which can hasten oil degradation and increase the likelihood of timing‑belt or chain wear in a DCI diesel power‑unit. The brake‑pedal advisory warrants a visual and functional inspection of the pedal assembly, including the pivot bushings and any associated wear plates. On a test drive listen for any loss of pedal firmness, excessive travel, or a spongy feel, and verify that the pedal returns promptly after release. While the advisory does not indicate a failure, it often correlates with worn brake pads or discs, so a thorough check of pad thickness, disc surface condition and any signs of uneven wear or scoring is advisable. If the pedal surface is markedly smooth, replacement of the pedal or its bushings may be required to restore proper driver feedback and maintain consistent braking performance. Beyond the brake system, the high‑mileage profile means the buyer should confirm that tyre tread depth is still within the legal 1.6 mm limit and inspect sidewalls for age‑related cracking or perishing, especially if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Examine the 12‑volt battery for terminal corrosion and test its cranking voltage, as batteries in vans of this age can lose capacity even if mileage is high. Check the condition of suspension bushes, ball joints and coil springs for any clunking noises over bumps, and ensure the brake discs are not excessively corroded or warped. Finally, verify that the service book shows regular oil, filter and coolant changes at the manufacturer’s intervals, and that any timing‑belt (or chain) replacement recommended around the 60‑k‑mile mark has been recorded, as failure of this component would be catastrophic.
