2006 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · RO06 WZR

The Renault Trafic presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 13 October 2022 at 135,519 miles, following a failed attempt the previous day at 135,464 miles where the tester logged no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the back-to-back failure and pass in October 2022 suggest an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect. A similar pattern occurred on 4 November 2021, when the van failed and passed on the same day at 126,140 miles with no defects noted. Mileage data shows typical annual use for a 2006 panel van, averaging near 6,776 miles per year, but the record contains an anomaly. The 5 November 2020 test logged 151,032 miles, yet the 4 November 2021 test shows only 126,140 miles, a 24,892-mile drop. The 2022 figures then climb back to 135,519. Such reversal implies a likely mileage recording error at one of the tests, or a replacement cluster, and the buyer should treat the odometer reading with caution. No advisories or defects appear across any test in the supplied history, so the DVSA record itself flags no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. The absence of noted issues over a two-decade life with sparse testing means hidden wear may exist undetected. A pre-purchase inspection should still check coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc condition given the vehicle's age and light test frequency. The repeated same-day fail and pass with no defects points to lax test handling rather than owner neglect of consumables. Given the clean slate and roughly typical use, the Trafic's record implies basic upkeep was maintained, but the unexplained mileage regression demands verification of true distance covered before any purchase.
