2009 Renault Trucks Master 2.5L Diesel · RX59 AEB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of instability, evidenced by a failure earlier in that same month due to lighting issues and a tyre-related defect. While the immediate issues were rectified to achieve a pass, the overall history suggests a reactive approach to repairs where faults are addressed only upon inspection failure rather than through consistent preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,142 miles per year over its 17-year lifespan. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the Master covered 1,543 miles, indicating a significant drop in annual usage to roughly 770 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity work, but the age of the components increases vulnerability to rubber degradation and fluid leaks irrespective of the odometer reading. A prospective buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the records repeatedly highlight fluctuating front and rear brakes, imbalanced requirements, and pitted rear discs across the 2024 and 2025 tests. These issues indicate that the braking hardware may be nearing the end of its effective life or requires professional adjustment. Additionally, the condition of the headlamp lenses should be examined, as multiple tests have noted product buildup or clouding on the glass. Given the vehicle's age and low recent usage, a physical check for structural corrosion and perished rubber hoses is essential, as these often fail on older vans that sit stationary. The history of failed windscreen washers and stop lamps further suggests that basic electrical and fluid maintenance may be overlooked, necessitating a comprehensive check of all external lighting and fluid seals before purchase.
