2009 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · PO59 GFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 101,370 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of escalating mechanical concerns between 2022 and 2024. While the vehicle previously suffered from recurring issues regarding suspension and corrosion, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests that the previous owner has finally addressed the outstanding faults identified in the prior years of testing cycles. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 101,370 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,000 miles. This is significantly low for a Renault Master of this era, suggesting either light commercial use or long periods of stationary operation. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with the vehicle covering roughly 8,000 miles between the November 2024 and October 2025 tests. However, the low mileage on an aged heavy commercial vehicle often points to the degradation of rubber components and the stagnation of fluids, which aligns with the specific faults noted in its service history. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension and braking system. The record shows that ball joints on the lower suspension arms exhibited play consistently from 2022 through 2023, so the buyer should verify these components have been replaced and no longer show excessive movement. The corroded brake pipes covered in grease noted in 2023 and 2024 indicate a history of hidden corrosion; despite the recent pass, a technician should inspect the entire length of the brake lines to ensure no structural thinning remains where the grease was masking the rust. The 2024 test also flagged a noisy gearbox and a non-excessive oil leak. While these did not cause a failure, they indicate internal wear that should be monitored during a test drive to ensure the noise level is not worsening. Additionally, the report of perishing rear tyres in 2024 suggests that the rubber may be suffering from age rather than tread wear. The buyer should check the sidewalls for cracking to ensure the tyres are not nearing the end of their structural life despite having low mileage.
