2018 Renault Trucks D Wide 7.7L Diesel · PN68 BPF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT record following a period of concern. The most recent test in October 2025 at 450,581 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This shift from flagged faults to a clean pass suggests the current maintenance cycle is effectively managing the necessary repairs despite the high demands placed on the machinery. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high, averaging over 56,000 miles per year across its eight-year life. Between September 2021 and November 2022, the vehicle covered 91,105 miles, representing a period of intense commercial use that places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis. The gap between the September 2024 and 2025 tests saw another 52,937 miles added, confirming the vehicle remains in constant, heavy-duty operation which accelerates the wear of consumable items and structural components. A physical inspection must focus on the components previously flagged during the August 2023 test at 352,494 miles. The tester identified fatigue cracking on the axle 1 brake discs and required attention for U-bolt torques on the suspension. While these passed subsequent tests, a buyer should verify the current condition of the brake disc surfaces and check the suspension mounting points for play or hairline fractures. Given the extreme mileage, the integrity of the suspension bushes and the state of the chassis are critical, as these parts often reach their fatigue limit under such high-mileage cycles.
