2018 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · MX18 JXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 138,638 miles identified mechanical wear, specifically worn front brake discs and a failing offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed without defects in 2024, the appearance of these advisories indicates that consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life due to high usage. The mileage profile is significant for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 17,300 miles per year. Between May 2024 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 7,861 miles, representing a consistent pattern of heavy use that aligns with the high annual average. This high-mileage pattern suggests commercial application, which typically accelerates the degradation of the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking hardware. The lack of gaps between MOT tests indicates the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than sitting stationary. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2025 advisory regarding the offside rear tyre worn on the edge specifically points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that are causing uneven tyre wear. Because the front brake discs were noted as thin, the calipers should be checked for glazing or sticking to ensure even wear. Additionally, the 2023 failure regarding headlamp aim suggests the front end may have experienced impacts or mounting fatigue, necessitating a check of the structural integrity of the headlight assemblies and mounting brackets.
