2021 Renault Trafic SL28 B-Ness+ Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · NG71 BTO

This Renault Trafic shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT tests occurring just seven months ago on 2025-10-15. The vehicle passed both the primary and supplementary tests at the same mileage (24,507 miles), indicating no defects were recorded during either assessment. While the dual-testing on the same date is unusual—suggesting either a rare administrative anomaly or a vehicle brought in for immediate re-inspection—it confirms the tester found no major failings at that point. The lack of advisories or recurring issues in the 2024 or 2025 tests implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural concerns during its recent history. The recorded mileage of 24,507 miles over approximately 4.9 years suggests unusually light usage for a commercial van of this age, averaging just under 5,000 miles annually. This pattern could indicate the vehicle was either stored for extended periods or used primarily for short trips. The gap between the 2024 test (19,074 miles) and the 2025 tests (24,507 miles) spans roughly 15 months, with no intermediate MOTs—a period where significant wear could accumulate if the vehicle was in active use. Low mileage alone does not preclude underlying issues, particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not directly tested during the MOT but critical for long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in vans of this age and mileage. Examine the brake system for uneven wear on discs or pads, as binding calipers or warped rotors could develop without triggering an MOT fail. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around the wheel arches and sills, for signs of corrosion or hidden damage that might not have been visible during the MOT. The absence of advisories in recent tests suggests no immediate red flags, but a thorough check of these components will confirm whether the vehicle has been maintained beyond the minimum legal requirements.
