2018 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SA18 DVR

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 25 March 2026 with 119,314 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has maintained clean passes for the last three annual inspections. While a failure occurred in March 2025 regarding an insecure offside front anti-roll bar, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day suggest the owner addresses critical safety faults once they are identified. The mileage profile reflects a consistent high-mileage pattern, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between the 2023 test at 80,549 miles and the 2026 test at 119,314 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 39,000 miles in three years. This steady accumulation is typical for a commercial vehicle like the Renault Trafic but places significant demand on heavy-duty components, drivetrain bushings, and suspension assemblies compared to lower-mileage counterparts. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically the anti-roll bar links, bushes, and mounting arms, given the previous failure in 2025. At this mileage level, it is essential to check for excessive play in the steering joints and signs of advanced corrosion on the chassis underbody and exhaust mounting points. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for signs of binding, as high-mileage use often accelerates the degradation of these consumable components despite a clean MOT record.
