2022 Renault Trafic LL30 Business Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · RA22 FPF

The Renault Trafic in question achieved a clean MOT pass on 13 August 2025 at exactly 49,327 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent test confirms compliance across all mandatory checks without any repeat failures or unresolved issues. However, the absence of intermediate MOTs or service records means there is no evidence of proactive maintenance between the 2023 and 2025 tests. The latest pass alone does not guarantee the vehicle has been consistently cared for beyond the minimum legal requirements. The recorded mileage of 49,327 miles over approximately four years—roughly 12,332 miles annually—suggests unusually high usage for a vehicle of this age. This rate exceeds typical expectations for a commercial van, which often sees lower annual mileage unless operated intensively. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service documentation implies either a single owner with minimal oversight or a history of deferring maintenance until the MOT deadline. Without additional records, it is impossible to confirm whether critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain elements have been replaced or inspected beyond the MOT’s basic checks. Given the sparse maintenance history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not fully covered by the MOT. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these are often overlooked until failure. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the discs and backing plates, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or structural weakness, particularly around the catalytic converter and downstream pipes, given the high mileage. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and frame condition, should also be assessed, as these issues are not always detectable without a thorough examination. The absence of advisories in the latest MOT does not preclude hidden problems, so a detailed mechanical review is essential.
