Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. The combin
Given the high mileage and history, focus your attention on the chassis and suspension. The MOT records show repeated issues with the steering rack and track rod ends, as well as defective gearbox mountings in 2023. You should verify if these components have been replaced or merely patched.
Negotiate based on the evidence of corrosion. The vehicle has a history of brake pipe corrosion and structural issues with jacking points. Request evidence of any remedial welding or rust-proofing that may have been carried out to address the failures recorded in September 2025.
The 1995cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency under load, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension bushings.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax for a 2.0L diesel, and insurance, which varies depending on whether the vehicle is used for commercial or private purposes. Typical annual running costs are estimated to be higher than a lower-mileage equivalent.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody. Specifically, check the jacking points and chassis rails for excessive corrosion, as the September 2025 MOT recorded a failure for a jacking point that significantly reduced structural strength. Inspect the rear brake pipes for corrosion, as these were flagged as an advisory in 2023.
Test the parking brake thoroughly, as both the nearside and offside rear brakes were recorded as inoperative during the September 2025 failure. Finally, check for any play in the steering rack and track rod ends, which were the cause of the August 2024 MOT failure.
This white 2008 Renault Trafic has covered 195,025 miles, reflecting heavy utility use. The MOT history reveals a pattern of steering, suspension, and braking issues, alongside structural corrosion. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025, the record indicates a vehicle with significant wear and tear.
Aggregate data for this model is unavailable, but this specific vehicle's history shows wear and tear typical of a high-mileage commercial van.
