2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · RF66 OBO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 14 February 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears to be slightly declining in terms of general upkeep, as evidenced by the recurrence of minor defects involving the side repeater lens, the offside mirror, and the indicator flash rate across multiple test cycles. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the persistence of these minor faults suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one, indicating that small defects are being left to linger until the next official inspection. With a recorded mileage of 164,047 miles over approximately ten years, this Renault Master has averaged over 16,000 miles per year. This is considered high usage, which places significant stress on all primary drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems. At this stage of its lifecycle, the vehicle is susceptible to general mechanical fatigue, meaning the buyer should expect a higher frequency of consumable replacement and a closer inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis. Particular attention must be paid to the nearside front tyre, which has been flagged as perishing or cracking since February 2025. The fact that this advisory has persisted for over a year suggests a neglect of rubber age and condition; the buyer should inspect all tyre sidewalls for similar degradation or cracking. Additionally, the advisory regarding the brake pedal wearing smooth is a direct result of high mileage and heavy usage. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any excessive pedal travel or sponginess and listen for any grinding or shuddering that could indicate worn brake discs or binding calipers. Given the high mileage and a previous advisory for an oil leak in 2021, a thorough inspection of the engine bay and underside is essential to check for fresh seepage or residue around the gaskets and sump. The 2020 failure involving the engine management light suggests a history of electronic or sensor malfunctions, so a full diagnostic scan is recommended to ensure no latent faults are present. Finally, the buyer must verify the service history to confirm that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals, as these are critical failure points for high-mileage diesel engines of this era.
