2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · RE16 FEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance. While the Traf passed its MOT on 7 October 2025 at 96,672 miles, it had failed that same day due to multiple safety defects. The tester flagged a structural bulge in the nearside rear tyre, a non-functional side repeater, and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This suggests that the owner only addresses faults upon a formal test failure rather than performing routine inspections between annual checks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 67,966 miles and October 2024 at 89,999 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 22,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The jump of 6,673 miles recorded between October 2024 and October 2025 maintains this consistent annual mileage, indicating the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing or sudden excessive heavy use. A buyer should inspect the vehicle specifically for alignment issues, as the repeated report of the front tyre being worn on the edge in 2025 suggests poor tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. The presence of a structural bulge in the rear tyre previously indicates a past impact or heat-related failure, which can lead to a sudden blowout if not replaced immediately. Given the age and mileage of this Renault Trafic, a check of the chassis for corrosion and the rubber brake lines is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests.
