Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to the vehicle'

When considering this vehicle, prioritize the verification of the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for this engine at this mileage. Given it is a commercial vehicle from 2008, check for any evidence of heavy loading or interior wear that may not be captured in MOT data.

Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the likelihood of upcoming maintenance requirements. Ensure you have a clear record of the most recent oil and filter changes to establish a baseline for the engine's current state.

Running costs for this 2.0L diesel will be dominated by fuel and maintenance. While the diesel engine offers reasonable efficiency for a van of this size, the 2008 tax bracket and insurance group for a commercial vehicle should be verified against current rates.

Typical maintenance for a high-mileage Trafic includes suspension bushings, brake components, and tyre replacements. Expect a higher-than-average maintenance budget to keep a vehicle of this age roadworthy.

Carefully inspect the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, as rust is a common issue for vans of this era. Although the MOT history shows 'no defects recorded' for the failures in 2022 and 2023, you should investigate what caused those initial failures to ensure the repairs were permanent.

Check the clutch pedal feel and gear transitions for smoothness, and inspect the diesel particulate filter (DPF) or exhaust system for signs of soot buildup or leaks, which are common in older diesel engines used for short trips.

This 2008 black Renault Trafic is powered by a 1998cc diesel engine and has recorded 150,988 miles. The MOT history shows passes in June 2022 and June 2023, although both were preceded by failures on the same or previous day. No specific defects were listed in the provided records for these tests.

Aggregate reliability data for the Renault Trafic is not available for this specific analysis.
