2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SB15 AEF

The 2015 Renault Trafic demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-11-22 at 67,812 miles with no defects recorded. However, prior tests in 2025-11-21 and 2025-08-06 both failed without detailing issues, raising questions about unresolved mechanical or safety concerns. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test suggests potential resolution of earlier problems, but the lack of transparency in the failure reports limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring structural or mechanical risks, though the pattern of repeated failures without clear causes warrants caution. The vehicle’s mileage of 67,812 miles over 11 years aligns with an average of 6,165 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. The MOT records span from 2023-07-26 (62,381 miles) to 2025-11-22, with consistent intervals between tests. Notably, the 2024-08-08 test at 64,503 miles passed without defects, indicating a period of stable performance. However, the two consecutive 2025 failures—just 35 days apart—suggest potential intermittent issues that were not documented. The sparse defect data in these records complicates a detailed assessment of wear patterns, though the overall mileage progression appears unremarkable. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and typical wear. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the prior failures without details merit scrutiny of brake discs, calipers, and hydraulic systems. Exhaust emissions and corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, should also be checked, as these are common oversight areas in older vans. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the unresolved nature of the 2025 failures underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability.
