2022 Renault Master LM35 Business Blue DCI 2.3L Diesel · SD22 UUX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 19,2026, at 64,545 miles. However, the maintenance trend reveals a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The car failed just one day prior at 64,540 miles due to multiple significant defects that required immediate attention. While the most recent test shows the vehicle meets minimum standards, the proximity of the failure suggests that components are only being serviced when forced by an inspection failure. The mileage pattern indicates heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. This is consistent with a working Renault Master of this age. Between the May 2025 test at 48,448 miles and the May 2026 test, the vehicle covered 16,097 miles in just one year. This rapid accumulation puts considerable strain on the suspension and braking systems, which explains the sudden wear of the rear brake pads and the shock absorber failure noted during the most recent inspection. A physical inspection must focus on the nearside front shock absorber, which was flagged with a serious fluid leak in May 2026. The buyer should verify that this unit was replaced with a high-quality component and not merely a temporary fix. Given that both rear brake pads were found below the 1.5mm legal limit, the remaining life of the brake discs should be checked for glazing, thinning, or uneven wear. The high annual mileage profile also warrants a thorough check of the suspension bushings and steering linkages, as these components often degrade rapidly on heavy-duty vans subjected to constant use.
