2022 Renault Trafic SL28 B-Ness + Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · NA22 CNN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 21 April 2026 at 62,992 miles with zero defects recorded, indicating a fully compliant roadworthiness status at that point. The maintenance trend appears to be stable and recently improving, as the preceding test on 20 April 2026 at the same recorded mileage failed with multiple defects that were evidently rectified within 24 hours. The rapid retest and clean pass suggest the previous owner addressed the identified faults promptly, though the nature of those defects warrants closer scrutiny of the vehicle's overall care. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably uneven. Between the May 2025 test at 45,967 miles and the April 2026 tests at 62,992 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 17,025 miles in just under 11 months, which is high even for a commercial van. The recorded mileage remained static at 62,992 miles across both the failed and passed tests on consecutive days in April 2026, confirming no meaningful use occurred between those dates. With roughly 15,748 miles per year averaged over four years, this Trafic has seen sustained heavy use, likely from long-distance or high-frequency commercial work, which places greater stress on drivetrain, braking, and suspension components. The April 2026 failure flagged several items that a buyer should inspect carefully. The nearside anti-roll bar fouling the subframe is a mechanical concern that could indicate worn suspension bushes, a damaged drop link, or subframe corrosion. The nearside rear tyre had a cut deep enough to expose ply or cords, which points to either a one-off road hazard or a recurring issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry causing abnormal tyre wear. The offside rear tyre was also below the 1.6mm legal minimum, suggesting uneven wear patterns across the rear axle that may reflect tracking or inflation issues rather than simple neglect. Beyond the tyres, the inoperative registration plate lamp, missing nearside repeater, and upper stop lamp failure are minor electrical faults, but their simultaneous appearance hints at possible wiring deterioration or water ingress in the lamp housings. The damaged nearside door mirror backing is cosmetic but could indicate the vehicle has been used in tight urban environments with repeated contact. A prospective buyer should examine the subframe and suspension mounting points for corrosion or impact damage, verify rear brake condition given the high mileage, and check all lamp housings for moisture. The clean pass on retest is reassuring, but the underlying causes of the suspension fouling and tyre damage deserve a thorough in-person inspection before purchase.
