2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · NA66 NHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. While the Trafic maintained a flawless history between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in December 2025 at 90,477 miles revealed multiple mechanical advisories. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where components are reaching the end of their functional life simultaneously, requiring more proactive attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There was a notable gap of over 17,000 miles between November 2022 and October 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 15,167 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This increase in usage likely correlates with the sudden appearance of defects in the latest inspection, as the vehicle is being utilized more frequently, placing stress on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking assembly based on the December 2025 findings. The corroded offside rear artwork spring is a structural concern that should be monitored for further decay, as corrosion tends to spread. Furthermore, the rear brake discs are noted as pitted and scored, suggesting the material is thinning and may require replacement to ensure effective stopping performance. The offside rear tyre showed uneven wear on the edge, which may indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that need to be checked to avoid further tyre degradation.
