2009 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · PN09 KFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 103,265 miles passed, the vehicle initially failed it due to thin rear brake pads and a deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot. This follows a pattern where faults are only addressed once they trigger an MOT failure, as seen with the failures in 2023 and 2025. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 103,265 miles represents an average of approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is low for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, a significant gap of 25,219 miles occurred between October 2023 and November 2024, indicating a period of heavy use compared to the annual average. This spike in mileage likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the rubber components and braking system, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with drive shaft boots and tyre wear. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and drivetrain components during a physical inspection. The nearside front drive shaft joint CV boot has appeared as a recurring failure since 2023, suggesting that previous replacements may have been substandard or that the joint itself is failing prematurely. The history of the offside front tyre being bald on the inner edge in 2023 points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further tyre wastage. The braking system also requires attention as the rear pads were flagged as thin in the November 2025 test. Given the age of the Renault Master, the inspector should check for corrosion on the brake discs and structural integrity of the undercarriage, which are not explicitly detailed in these records. The recurring failure of bulbs and tyres across multiple years suggests the owner has neglected basic maintenance items until necessitated by legal requirements.
