2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · NA65 PDX

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-05 showed the vehicle passed with two minor issues: a damaged nearside mirror and a severely deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. These are not safety-critical but indicate potential wear in suspension components. The vehicle’s mileage of 116,505 miles is consistent with its 11-year age, averaging roughly 10,591 miles annually—a typical figure for this model. This suggests neither extreme under-use nor heavy wear from excessive driving. A recurring pattern of brake pad wear is evident. From 2023 to 2024, multiple MOTs highlighted thin or failed brake pads, including a 2024 failure due to pads below 1.5mm. While the 2025 MOT noted improved pad condition, the 2026 report omitted brake-related issues, raising questions about whether replacements were made. The 2025 MOT also flagged a track rod end with slight play, indicating possible steering or suspension wear. These issues suggest the vehicle may have experienced uneven brake wear or insufficient maintenance, though the trend is not definitively worsening. The mileage aligns with average usage, so significant mechanical degradation from high mileage is unlikely.
