2011 Renault Master 2.2L Diesel · SC61 FHB

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑12 recorded a failure at 123,455 miles. The test highlighted corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease, worn front suspension arm pins/bushes and an offside front headlamp aimed too low and left of centre. These defects represent a clear deterioration after a clean pass the previous year, indicating a worsening maintenance trend rather than steady improvement. Mileage accumulation shows a rapid increase between the 2024‑11‑15 test (111,187 miles) and the 2025‑11‑12 failure (123,455 miles), adding roughly 12,300 miles in about twelve months. This rate exceeds the typical 8,200 miles per year for a fifteen‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting heavier usage or possibly deferred servicing. MOT entries have been annual and recent, with no significant gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the rear brake pipe assemblies for corrosion and grease ingress, checking for leaks and proper routing. The front suspension arm pins and bushes require thorough examination for excessive wear, as they affect steering geometry and ride quality. The offside headlamp must be verified for correct aim, ensuring it meets the lateral and vertical alignment standards. Additionally, look for any signs of rust on the chassis around the brake lines and suspension mounts, as the corrosion noted could indicate exposure to road salts. A visual check of the tyre tread depths is also advisable, given the earlier advisory on wear close to legal limits.
