2003 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · SA03 AFX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance trend over the last two years. The most recent test in June 2025 at 178,297 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a previous failure just three days prior. This pattern suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues to ensure the vehicle remains legal. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three passes indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components are currently holding a functional condition despite their age. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's 23-year age, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 6,625 miles, while the period between June 2024 and June 2025 saw an additional 6,836 miles. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which benefits the drivetrain and braking components by preventing internal corrosion. The short intervals between failures and passes in the recent history indicate the vehicle is being tested immediately upon test expiry. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as older Renault vans are prone to hidden corrosion that MOT tests may not catch until critical. While the record is currently clean, the high mileage warrants a close look at the suspension geometry, specifically the condition of wish arm bushes and shock absorber mountss, which typically degrade after 150,000 miles. Checking for brake fluid leaks and uneven tyre wear patterns is also advisable to ensure that the recent clean pass reflects genuine mechanical health rather than just temporary fixes.
