2009 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · RO09 XLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent MOT conducted on 30 August 2024 at 160,888 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at a lower mileage. This suggests the previous failure was likely an administrative error or a minor item rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The lack of advisories on the latest test indicates the vehicle currently meets minimum regulatory standards. At 17 years old, the 160,888 recorded miles average approximately 9,464 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between August 2022 and September 2023, and another 5,500 miles covered between September 2023 and August 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than left sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and brake fluid integrity. While the MOT history is clean of recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas common to this generation of Renault Trafic. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear arches and mounting points, as these often degrade before appearing on an MOT certificate. Given the mileage, check the suspension bushes for perished rubber and examine the coil springs for any signs of fatigue or fractures. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs and check for any binding calipers to ensure the clean MOT record reflects genuine mechanical health.
