2009 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · MT59 XCZ

The official DVSA record for this 2009 Renault Trafic reveals a stable maintenance trend up to the most recent test on December 7, 2023, where the vehicle achieved a pass with zero defects recorded. This clean certificate follows a familiar pattern from the preceding years of testing, though the historical file contains twin failures in December 2021 and December 2023 that were swiftly rectified within days to secure standard passes. The current test certificate has now expired by more than two years relative to August 2026, meaning the vehicle has no valid roadworthiness documentation and cannot be driven legally on public roads until a fresh MOT test is successfully completed. With 275,029 miles accumulated across its 17-year operational life, the van averages roughly 16,178 miles annually, reflecting heavy commercial deployment. The mileage progression between December 2021 and December 2023 indicates continued, steady utilization typical of working utility vehicles. Despite the high mileage, the available MOT dataset is unusually sparse regarding specific component advisories or mechanical defects, as none were formally logged by the testers during any of the recorded examinations. Prospective buyers must perform a thorough physical inspection of the high-stress mechanical and structural components that inevitably suffer from fatigue at this mileage tier. The heavy payload capacity and high mileage mean the suspension arms, anti-roll bar linkages, coil springs, and subframe mountings require rigorous scrutiny for excessive play, bushing degradation, and structural corrosion. Furthermore, the braking system warrants detailed examination for worn brake discs, pad degradation, and caliper binding, alongside a comprehensive check of the drivetrain and exhaust emissions for signs of advanced wear.
