2023 Renault Master MM35 Business Blue DCI 2.3L Diesel · MW72 AYX

A clean MOT outcome, punctuated only by minor advisories on front‑brake‑pad visibility and two lighting items, indicates that the vehicle presently meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria without any recorded failures. The February 2026 pass confirms that, aside from the noted items, the core safety systems were deemed satisfactory at the time of testing. At roughly 20,361 miles after just over three years of service, the average annual accumulation sits near 6,800 miles, which aligns with typical commercial‑van usage patterns. This mileage suggests that consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension components are likely to be in the mid‑life stage, but it does not point to accelerated wear that would be expected from unusually high mileage or prolonged idle periods. Prospective buyers should verify the condition of the front brake pads despite the visibility advisory; request a direct measurement of pad thickness and inspect for uneven wear, glazing or excessive scoring, and listen for any squeal or pedal judder during a low‑speed stop. Because the MOT flagged a non‑obligatory stop lamp that failed to operate, confirm that all stop‑lamp circuits illuminate correctly when the brake pedal is depressed, and be prepared to replace the faulty bulb or wiring as required. The near‑side repeater lens defect, while not affecting emitted light, should still be rectified to avoid future advisory recurrence. A thorough pre‑purchase test drive should include a check of braking performance—steady pedal feel, consistent stopping distances, and absence of pulling—to corroborate the MOT findings. Additionally, confirm that the stop lamps flash as intended and that the replacement of the repeater lens does not reveal any underlying wiring damage. Addressing these specific items will ensure the van remains compliant and safe for continued commercial operation.
