2022 Renault Trafic SL28 Business Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · NA72 ABK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT inspection on 18 November 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a clean bill of health at the time of testing and suggests a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has met all essential safety and environmental standards. Given the absence of recorded failures or recurring advisories, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements, though a physical verification of the service history remains essential to confirm that scheduled preventative maintenance has been carried out. With 33,554 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,388 miles per year. This represents typical, moderate usage for a commercial vehicle of this type, avoiding the extremes of heavy high-mileage wear or the potential complications of excessive long-term standing. This usage profile suggests that while major drivetrain components like the engine and gearbox should be in good condition, consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will have undergone regular, predictable wear cycles consistent with its age. Because the MOT history is clean, the inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than immediate mechanical failure. Even with moderate mileage, you should carefully inspect the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and during the test drive, listen for any signs of binding calipers or feel for any brake shudder. It is also vital to verify the 12V battery health, as modern diesel commercial vehicles can suffer from voltage drops or starting issues if left idle for extended periods. Beyond the primary mechanicals, you must verify the service book stamps to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals, as fluids can degrade over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the underbody for any signs of early-stage corrosion or fluid leaks from the engine or transmission, and ensure all auxiliary lights and indicators are fully operational. Finally, check the condition of the suspension components, specifically the coil springs and dampers, for any signs of weeping or premature wear that might not yet have been significant enough to trigger an MOT advisory.
