2009 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · SF09 OMH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a worsening maintenance trend regarding its braking and suspension components. While it passed its most recent test on October 1, 2025, this followed two failures within a three-week period in September. The transition from a pass in July 2024 to a failure for significantly worn rear brake discs and parking brake inefficiency in September 2025 suggests that the owner is only addressing faults once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. Data regarding mileage accumulation is insufficient to provide a complete analysis. The last recorded mileage was 199,062 miles on October 5, 2023. With no mileage figures provided for the 2024 or 2025 tests, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle is being used for heavy commercial work or if it has sat stationary. The high baseline mileage from 2023 already indicates a vehicle with significant wear and tear across all mechanical assemblies. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The record shows a persistent issue with offside front brake binding and worn rear discs, which may indicate sticking calipers or failing hydraulic components. The light misting on the offside rear shock absorbers noted in 2025 indicates a seal failure that will eventually require replacement. Furthermore, the play in the nearside front track rod end noted in 2024 should be rechecked to ensure steering geometry has not deteriorated, as this component was not explicitly cleared in subsequent advisories.
