2011 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · PO11 CCA

The latest MOT test for this Renault Master resulted in a pass on 15 November 2025 with no defects recorded. However, the recent history shows significant instability, with the vehicle failing twice in a very short period during November 2025. This suggests that the vehicle required immediate remedial work to meet minimum safety standards. While the most recent result indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy and the maintenance trend is improving, the recent failures suggest that the vehicle may have been due for significant component replacement or general upkeep. The vehicle has covered 103,192 miles over approximately 15 years, averaging roughly 6,879 miles per year. This is relatively low usage for a commercial van, which often implies lighter duty cycles or longer periods of standing. While this lower mileage may mean less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to other issues such as carbon buildup in the EGR or DPF systems due to a lack of sustained driving temperatures. It also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber and plastic components that can occur even when a vehicle is not frequently driven. Since the current MOT record is clean, you must perform a thorough physical inspection for age-related issues. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time even if the tread remains deep. Inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or surface pitting, and check for binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. During a test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks that might indicate worn bushes or failing dampers, and pay attention to any brake shudder or pulling to one side. Additionally, inspect all fluid levels and look for signs of leaks around the engine and transmission, as aged seals can become brittle and fail. Verify that the service history includes time-based intervals, as oil and other fluids must be changed annually regardless of low mileage to prevent degradation. It is also advisable to check the health of the 12V battery and the condition of all coolant and fuel hoses, as these are prone to perishing with age. Ensuring the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's calendar-based schedule is essential for a low-mileage vehicle of this age.
