2007 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · SC57 OOX

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance history that suggests reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent recorded test in January 2022 at 259,048 miles, this followed a significant failure just six days prior. The trend shows a pattern of critical mechanical failures, particularly regarding steering and suspension, being addressed only after failing inspection. Given that the last recorded MOT was performed over four years ago, the current state of the vehicle is unverified and likely suffers from significant degradation due to its age and high usage. At 259,048 miles, this 2007 Renault Master has averaged approximately 13,600 miles per year over its nineteen years. The data shows a gap in recorded mileage between December 2019 and January 2021, where the vehicle covered over 4,000 miles. The rapid accumulation of mileage in the later years places immense strain on the drivetrain and chassis components. Such high annual mileage is consistent with the wear observed on the steering rack and suspension joints, which have already shown signs of advanced fatigue in the recorded history. A buyer must meticulously inspect the steering assembly and front suspension. The 2022 failure highlighted excessive play in the steering rack inner joints and a missing rack gaiter, both of which lead to imprecise steering and premature component failure. The recurring issue of an offside front binding brake and the previous nearside wheel bearing play indicate that the braking and hub assemblies are prone to seizing issues. Furthermore, the reported wear on ball joints across both front and rear axles in 2022 suggests the entire suspension geometry is nearing the end of its functional life, requiring a comprehensive overhaul to ensure safety.
