2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SB15 ACO

Examiners cleared the Trafic on 9 January 2026 at 238,696 miles, recording no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend stays stable; every passing test since 4 December 2023 logged zero mechanical flags. The record also shows fails on 7 January 2026 and 6 January 2025 at identical mileages to subsequent passes, each with no defects listed. That pattern points to procedural rejection rather than worsening condition. The odometer read 185,160 miles at the December 2023 test. By 6 January 2025 it showed 206,981, a 21,821-mile gain over thirteen months, matching the roughly 21,700-mile yearly average for the van's life. The jump to 238,696 by 9 January 2026 adds 31,715 miles in twelve months, revealing accelerated use. Eleven years old with 238,696 recorded miles confirms heavy commercial duty. Sparse testing—five entries total—offers limited depth, yet each pass carried no advisories. High mileage alone mandates in-person checks of components the MOT did not flag. The buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or collapse, measure brake disc wear and assess calipers for binding, and examine subframes and sills for corrosion breaching structural integrity. Exhaust emissions may remain within limits but warrant a sniff test given age. The two fail results with no documented defects suggest the previous owner presented the van without resolving an unitemised fault; request the refusal notices. Such conduct implies a pragmatic, mileage-driven ownership that deferred non-essential upkeep.
