2019 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · MX19 RZH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and tear. While it passed the most recent April 2026 test at 109,268 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior at 109,118 miles. That failure revealed multiple critical defects across the steering and suspension, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. At 109,268 miles over seven years, this Renault Trafic shows a high mileage profile averaging approximately 15,600 miles per year. This usage suggests consistent commercial application, which places significant strain on heavy-duty components. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 13,000 miles covered between April 2025 and March 2026. This high rate of travel accelerates the degradation of rubber bushes, ball joints, and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end geometry. The March 2026 failure flagged excessive wear on both track rod end ball joints and the offside front anti-roll bar linkage, alongside worn anti-roll bar bushes. These components are vital for steering precision and vehicle stability; their simultaneous failure suggests the front suspension assembly is nearing the end of its service life. The buyer should also check for play in the steering rack and ensure the repairs performed were comprehensive. The record also shows recurring issues with basic electrical and tyre maintenance. The offside rear registration lamp was a noted defect in both March and April 2026, indicating a lack of attention to minor items. Furthermore, the repeated presence of cuts and nails in multiple tyres across recent tests suggests a reactive approach to tyre care. Inspect the current tyre depth and sidewall integrity for further damage that may have been overlooked since the previous test.
