2019 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SC19 JFG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 13 February 2026 at 97,898 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was rectified immediately prior to the retest. Since the June 2023 examination, the vehicle has consistently passed without recorded advisories or failures, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating limits. The mileage profile reflects high annual usage for a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in activity between June 2023 (66,492 miles) and December 2024 (87,787 miles), where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in just eighteen months. The rate accelerated further with 10,111 miles covered between December 2024 and February 2026. This consistent high-mileage puts considerable strain on wear components, particularly the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. Given the high mileage and the nature of the recent failure, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension and braking hardware. A buyer must check for signs of premature wear on coil springs and shock absorbers, which are common in heavy-duty commercial vehicles. While the MOT record is clean, the immediate failure in February 2026 requires investigation into what the specific fault was to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical failure or structural corrosion. Inspecting the chassis for rust is also essential, as high-mileage commercial use often accelerates the degradation of structural integrity over time.
