2014 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · NV64 OEM

The 2014 Renault Trafic presents a high-mileage profile with 307,928 miles, averaging over 25,000 miles per annum. The most recent test on 12 June 2026 shows the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that immediate mechanical failures have been addressed. However, the historical data reveals a pattern of wear requiring consistent attention. In May 2025 at 282,968 miles, the vehicle failed due to a non-functional nearside stop lamp and worn front brake pads. These are standard consumable failures that indicate the previous owner performed basic maintenance reactively rather than preemptively before the MOT appointment. The mileage accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial use over the twelve-year period. Between the May 2023 and June 2024 tests, the vehicle covered approximately 8,000 miles, which puts significant strain on the suspension and drivetrain components. The 2023 inspection at 241,425 miles flagged a light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber and a tyre nearing the legal limit. While the shock absorber did not cause a failure, the presence of oil leakage at this mileage often signals the beginning of component fatigue across the entire suspension sub-assembly. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and chassis corrosion, as high-mileage vans frequently suffer from accelerated rust in mounting points and wheel arches. The recurring mention of worn brake pads and shock absorbers suggests the suspension and braking systems are nearing the end of their service lives. While the June 2026 result is clean, the sheer distance of over 300,000 miles increases the risk of internal engine wear or turbocharger failure that a standard MOT cannot detect.
