2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · OW15 RFY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following recent intermittent failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 October 2025 at 131,396 miles returned no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed prior mechanical issues. While the history shows a pattern of failing immediately before passing, the clean pass in the latest two tests suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Data shows steady usage, with 6,532 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 9,156 miles recorded between September 2024 and October 2025. This regular usage pattern suggests consistent operational use rather than long periods of standing, which often results in better preservation of rubber components and seals, though it accelerates the wear on suspension and suspension. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in September 2023 and September 2024, although the specific defect codes were not detailed in this summary. Given the high mileage and age of the Trafic, a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral arms is essential as these are common failure points under load. The inspector should also look for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting to ensure that the integrity has not begun to deteriorate rapidly between the annual test cycles.
