2010 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · RE60 MFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 235,441 miles passed, the tester identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside front brake pipes. This follows a pattern seen in 2025 where both front brake hoses were flagged for deterioration, indicating that the braking system components are reaching the end of their operational life due to environmental degradation. At 16 years old, the 235,441 recorded miles represent a high-use history, averaging approximately 14,700 miles per year. The usage is consistent, as evidenced by the 2,470 miles covered between February 2025 and April 2026, and over 7,000 miles between March 2024 and February 2025. This high mileage puts significant strain on the heavy-duty drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the recurring failures of wear-and-tear parts noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking architecture. The record shows a history of worn anti-roll bar bushes in 2024 and a failed ball joint and brake discs in early 2023. Given the recent advisory regarding corroded brake pipes and previous hose deterioration, a technician should check for fluid leaks or deep structural corrosion that could lead to a sudden hydraulic failure. Additionally, the presence of a cut tyre in the latest test and a perished tyre in 2024 suggests that basic consumable maintenance is only addressed when defects become an MOT concern.
