2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · S22 MAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 114,554 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at 114,483 miles. That failure highlighted multiple critical issues including exposed cords on the nearside front tyre and defective lighting components. The overall trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 114,554 miles over a ten-year period averages to approximately 11,455 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. There is a significant jump in usage between September 2021 and October 2022, where the vehicle covered over 25,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, the accumulation has remained steady at roughly 19,000 to 20,000 miles annually. This consistent high-mileage usage increases stress on the suspension, braking system, and drivetrain components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the record previously flagged excessive play in the offside track rod end at 71,582 miles. The recurring issues with tyres worn to the legal limit or sustaining punctures across 2022, 2023, and 2025 indicate a potential neglect of alignment checks or basic tyre replacement cycles. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted for pitting and scoring in 2021 and should be checked for current thickness and surface condition, given the high mileage accumulated since that entry.
