2003 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · PE53 GGU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent MOT test on 12 January 2026 at 152,331 miles passed with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just five days prior at nearly identical mileage, which suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing immediate issues to ensure compliance. The lack of advisories on the latest pass indicates the vehicle met all mechanical and safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 23-year age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression with 5,716 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, followed by a 10,459 mile interval between December 2024 and January 2026. This recent spike suggests the vehicle is currently being used more regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals in older commercial-vans. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the structural integrity and lower chassis areas, as Renault vehicles of this era are prone to significant corrosion. While the MOT record is currently clean, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2026 indicate the vehicle may be on the line regarding specific mechanical requirements. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear and check the brake discs for uneven thinning or binding calipers. Given the age and mileage, verify the exhaust system for leaks or mounting point rust to ensure the recent passes are not merely masking underlying structural wear.
