2014 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · RV64 JBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking components. While it passed the most recent test in July 2025 at 116,965 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to thin front pads and significantly worn rear discs. The progression from pitted and scored discs in 2023 to "significantly worn" rear components in 2025 indicates that the previous owner was only addressing brake faults upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 116,965 miles over a twelve-year period represents an average usage of approximately 9,750 miles per annum, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 6,700 miles covered by the 2025 test. This consistency suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which explains the typical wear on suspension and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the history highlights recurring issues with pitting, scoring, and thinning material across all axles. The tester should specifically check for binding calipers and ensure the recent replacements included high-quality hardware throughout. Furthermore, the previous failure of the offside front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover in 2024 suggests that rubber suspension components may be nearing their end. An inspection of the remaining bushes and ball joints is necessary to ensure no further mechanical degradation has developed since the last recorded test.
