2004 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · SD04 LSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2023 at 115,630 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an anomalous failure on the same day. The lack of advisories across the 2020 to 2023 period indicates that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical and structural integrity during these inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,256 miles per year. Data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 101,748 miles in February 2020 to 115,630 miles by early 2023. This progression suggests light annual use, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, long periods of low usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components such as bushings and seals, despite the low recorded odometer reading. Given the age of the vehicle and the clean-looking MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans. While the records do not flag immediate corrosion, older Renault models of this era are prone to structural rust in hidden areas. A buyer should also inspect the suspension arms and coil springs for signs of cracking, as low mileage does not prevent age-related fatigue of materials. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago, the current state of the brake lines and tyre fluid must be verified to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the gap between tests.
