2023 Renault Trafic LL30 Business Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · NG72 UFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in March 2026, but the immediate MOT history reveals a period of reactive maintenance. The failure in February 2026 at 77,219 miles highlighted multiple critical safety-related defects, including lighting, braking, and tyres. While the vehicle passed the re-test just two weeks later at 77,232 miles, the density of faults suggests that repairs were only addressed upon an official test failure rather than through a preventative schedule. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity usage, covering 77,232 miles in approximately three years. This averages out to over 25,000 miles per annum, a rate consistent with heavy commercial or fleet application. Such mileage accelerates the wear on mechanical components and suspension assemblies. The short interval between the February failure and the March pass shows only 113 miles of travel, indicating the vehicle was likely stationary while the necessary repairs were carried out to meet the re-test requirements. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the previous test flagged low parking brake efficiency and thin front brake pads. Given the high mileage, the brake discs should be checked for significant wear and the calipers to ensure they are not binding. The nearside rear tyre also requires close scrutiny, as the previous record noted uneven wear on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The state of the suspension and drivetrain is vital to verify, as high-mileage vans experience significant stress on these components. The damaged windscreen noted in the March 2026 test should be monitored for spreading cracks that could eventually compromise the driver's view. Check the undercarriage for any signs of fluid leaks or structural corrosion to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to neglected underlying mechanical degradation.
