2010 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · RO60 EZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on January 20, 2026 at 185,137 miles shows an initial failure due to a severely deteriorated front anti-roll bar linkage, defective headlamp lenses, and a faulty hazard switch. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurring nature of failures across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT test failure. At 185,137 miles over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 11,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial van of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and another 1,400 miles leading up to the January 2026 inspection. This steady mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle has not been stationary, but the high cumulative mileage places significant stress on heavy-duty components. A buyer must inspect the driver's seat structure, as the January 2025 failure flagged a defective structure which is a serious safety concern for an older work vehicle. The seat belt webbing also showed signs of significant wear and a cut greater than 4mm, indicating that interior safety components may have been neglected. Additionally, the January 2024 record noted pitted and scored front brake discs. Given the 2026 failure of the anti-roll bar linkage, a thorough inspection of the entire front suspension, including bushes and joints, is required to ensure no further hidden corrosion or wear remains.
