2010 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · PR60 MED

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state, showing a worsening trend in mechanical neglect. The most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 172,706 miles resulted in a failure due to a collapsed nearside rear air suspension unit and a damaged rear suspension component. This follows a pattern of recurring failures where critical components are only addressed after they fail a safety inspection. The presence of an oil leak and worn anti-roll bar bushes suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance strategy. The mileage profile of 172,706 miles over 16 years represents a consistent usage pattern of approximately 10,800 miles per annum, which is typical for a commercial-sized vehicle. However, the frequency of failures has increased significantly in recent years. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 5,642 miles but suffered three separate MOT failures. This indicates that while the mileage accumulation is stable, the quality of mechanical upkeep has declined as the vehicle reached higher mileage, leading to accelerated wear on the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension system, as the spring assister airbags and units have failed repeatedly or shown damage since 2020. The braking history shows a chronic issue with pitted and scored discs across all axles, along with thin pads and an inoperative parking brake recorded in early 2024. Furthermore, the report of underneath surface corrosion in early 2025 requires a close look at the chassis and structural mounting points to ensure the rust has not compromised the integrity of the frame. The oil leak noted in the February 2026 test must be identified to determine if it is a minor gasket failure or a more significant engine seal issue.
