2019 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MT19 FNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift towards mechanical wear in more recent months. The most recent test in September 2025 at 80,635 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a registration plate lamp. This followed a failure just one week prior at 80,391 miles where the tester identified a fractured nearside front coil spring. This sequence suggests that the suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over the seven-year period. There is a notable increase in usage between June 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in just fourteen months, compared to the roughly 10,000 miles recorded between the 2022 and 2023 tests. This acceleration in mileage often correlates with the appearance of suspension-related faults like the anti-roll bar joint play noted in the later MOT records. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The 2024 test flagged slight play in the front anti-roll bar ball joints, and the 2025 failure for a broken coil spring indicates that the front end is under significant stress. Inspect all rubber bushings for cracking or tearing and check the shock absorbers for signs of leakage which often follow a spring failure. While the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained in its early years, the transition from clean records to mechanical failures suggests that further preventative maintenance on wear components will be required shortly.
