2020 Renault Master LH35 Business DCI 2.3L Diesel · RF69 LXH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recent shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2024 at 162,716 miles resulted in a pass following a failure the previous day for lighting issues and an oil leak. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the presence of a recurring oil leak and multiple electrical lamp failures suggests that minor defects are only being addressed when they threaten the vehicle's MOT status. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 27,000 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 124,485 miles and the March 2024 test at 162,716 miles, the vehicle covered 38,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation confirms heavy commercial use, which places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The lack of recorded tests between 2023 and 2024 is consistent with high-mileage usage requiring annual intervals. A buyer must physically inspect the source of the oil leak flagged in March 2024 to determine if it is a simple gasket failure or a more significant engine seal issue. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential, as these components often degrade under heavy loads. The electrical failures involving the nearside registration lamp and reflectors indicate that the wiring or bulb housings may suffer from corrosion or vibration damage, which requires testing to ensure further intermittent failures do not occur.
