2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SE15 KFT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 21, 2026, at 159,455 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test saw an immediate failure due to multiple safety-critical defects, including suspension artwork and worn brake pads. While these issues were addressed to achieve the subsequent pass, the history suggests that components are only replaced once they reach the point of failure during an inspection. At 159,455 miles over 11 years, this Renault Trafic reflects a high average of approximately 14,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 8,700 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 5,329 miles covered in the final year. This high level of mileage is typical for commercial vehicles but places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to lower mileage examples. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the track rod ends and anti-roll bar ball joints have repeatedly been flagged for play and deterioration. Given the recent failure of both inner and outer brake pads, a physical check of the remaining discs and calipers is necessary to ensure the braking system has been properly serviced. Additionally, the tyres should be monitored for uneven wear patterns, as previous records already noted edge wear and impact damage on the nearside rear.
