2022 Renault Trafic SL28 Business Blue DCI 2.0L Diesel · SD72 DGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on September 18, 2025, 40,635 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the owner successfully rectified multiple defects identified just two weeks prior. The transition from a failure on September 2 to a defect-free result shortly-after indicates that the previous keeper was proactive in addressing mechanical failures once they were flagged by the tester. At a recorded 40,635 miles over four years, this Renault Trafic averages approximately 10,159 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age, suggesting the van has not been subjected to excessive heavy-duty cycles nor has it suffered from long periods of inactivity. The short interval between the failure and the pass in September 2025 reflects a targeted repair of specific components rather than a period of sustained mechanical neglect. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system. The September 2 failure flagged fluctuating nearside and offside rear service brakes, alongside noted discs that were pitted and scored. While these were not deemed seriously weakened at the time, the presence of pitting suggests the discs were reaching the end of their effective life or were exposed to corrosive conditions. Verify that the rear discs and pads were actually replaced and check for any remaining vibration or uneven braking pull during a test drive. The electrical system also requires verification, as the rear registration plate lamp and central rear stop lamp were inoperative during the failed test. Although these are simple bulb or wiring issues, ensure all lighting circuits are fully functional and free of moisture ingress within the housings. Beyond these specific items, the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or mechanical degradation that would suggest long-term durability concerns.
