2019 Renault Trafic SL28 Sport Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · RO69 URD

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-17 (136,639 miles) identified multiple issues, including front brake pads wearing thin, rear tyres with damage/cracking, low oil level, and both front shock absorbers showing light oil misting. These findings align with recurring patterns observed in prior MOTs, particularly concerning suspension and braking components. The oil misting on shocks is a strong advisory, indicating potential fluid leaks that could compromise safety and handling. A consistent pattern of brake wear is evident, with front discs and pads showing gradual deterioration since 2022. While not severe in earlier years, the 2025 report notes front brake pads at 1.1mm, which is critically low. This suggests progressive wear, possibly due to high mileage or aggressive driving. Rear tyre damage and low tread levels in 2022 and 2025 also point to ongoing issues with tyre maintenance or alignment. Suspension-related advisories have persisted since 2022, with shock absorbers showing oil misting in 2022, 2023, and 2025. The 2025 report specifically highlights both front shocks, indicating a worsening trend. This could signal deteriorating damping performance, which affects ride quality and safety.
