2021 Renault Trafic SL30 B-Ness Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · MW71 YPY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing an improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent test conducted on 4 September 2025 at 105,861 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. This suggests the current owner is reactive to MOT failures rather than allowing faults to persist across multiple testing cycles. The mileage reflects high annual usage for its five-year age, averaging approximately 21,000 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 86,934 miles and the September 2025 test, the van covered 18,927 miles in just under ten months. This rapid accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial use or long-distance motorway transit, which places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components but often results in less clutch wear compared to short-trip city driving. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the offside front shock absorber. While the 2024 test flagged a light misting of oil at 86,934 miles, oil leaks on dampers are progressive and eventually lead to total component failure under load. Given the high mileage covered since that report, the damper should be checked for significant weeping or signs of premature collapse. Further inspection of the suspension bushes and ball joints is necessary, as the high mileage likely accelerates the degradation of rubber components. The previous history of cracked lamp housings and a failed stop lamp in 2024 points to minor cosmetic and electrical issues, but they highlight a past lack of attention to detail. Focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the brake system to ensure the high-mileage use has not resulted in excessive corrosion or binding calipers.
