2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · SA66 OPG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 16 2026 at 107,356 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The MOT record from March 2026 was particularly poor, flagging a long list of critical safety failures including a defective brake master cylinder and missing wheel fixings. While the most recent test shows these issues were rectified, the frequency of major failures across the last two testing cycles suggests that the vehicle is only being repaired when strictly necessary to pass the annual inspection. At 107,356 miles over ten years, the Renault Master has averaged approximately 10,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant jump of 13,198 miles covered between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. This rate of travel, combined with the repeated failures of suspension components and braking systems, indicates the vehicle is subjected to heavy loads or high mileage which has accelerated the wear on mechanical assemblies noted in the test results. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows recurring issues with lower arm ball joints, track rod ends, and rear anti-roll bar bushes, indicating the front end geometry is nearing frequent service intervals. The defective brake master cylinder noted in March 2026 is a serious hydraulic concern that requires the system to be checked for any residual leaks or inconsistent pedal feel. Additionally, because the driver's seat movement and seat belt webbing have been flagged across multiple years, the internal seat locking mechanisms need to be verified to ensure structural integrity and safety.
