2009 Renault Trucks Master 120.35 LWB A 2.5L Diesel · RX59 ABO

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in September 2023 at 99,642 miles resulted in a pass despite worn rear brake discs, the previous records show a history of deferred mechanical attention. The trend has stabilized since the significant failure in August 2019, but the recurring nature of suspension and drivetrain issues suggests that the structural components of this vehicle are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. The recorded mileage of 99,642 miles is remarkably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data reveals a notable gap in usage between September 2021 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered only 148 miles in two years. This low-frequency use often correlates with age-related issues, such as the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of braking surfaces, which is consistent with the deteriorated CV boots and pitted brake discs noted in the deatils of the history. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The tester flagged the offside front drive shaft CV boot as severely deteriorated in both 2019 and 2020, and the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint showed play in 2020. Given the vehicle's age and standing periods, these rubber components along with the suspension bushes, should be checked for signs of cracking or perished material. Additionally, the 2019 failure regarding leaf spring anchor pins and fouled hangers requires a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and mounting points to ensure structural corrosion has not compromised the integrity of the rear suspension setup.
