Our Verdict
A high-mileage commercial vehicle that h
Potential buyers should prioritise the current suspension advisories from the May 2026 MOT, which noted slight play in both the nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joints. These are wear-and-tear items that will likely require replacement shortly to maintain safety and handling. Use these pending repairs as a point of negotiation on the final price.
Given the 159,734-mile odometer reading, it is essential to verify the service history for the timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. Ensure all previous MOT advisories, such as the tyre wear noted in December 2024, have been addressed.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for commercial efficiency, though fuel economy will vary depending on the payload. Tax and insurance will be typical for a medium-sized van of this age and engine capacity.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the high mileage. The MOT history already indicates a need for suspension work and previous wheel bearing replacements, suggesting that further chassis and drivetrain components may require attention soon.
Specifically inspect the front suspension; the May 2026 MOT recorded play in both front suspension arm ball joints, which should be physically checked for excessive movement. Listen for humming or droning from the rear, as the vehicle failed its 2022 MOT due to a noisy nearside rear wheel bearing.
Check the condition of the front registration plate and all tyres, referencing the December 2024 advisories regarding plate deterioration and a worn offside front tyre. Finally, test the windscreen washer system to ensure the issue that caused the 2022 failure has been permanently resolved.
This black 2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L diesel has recorded 159,734 miles as of May 2026. Its MOT history shows five tests recorded since 2022, including one failure and four passes. The data indicates a vehicle used heavily for work, with recent advisories focusing on suspension and tyre wear.
No aggregate data is available for the Renault Trafic, but this specific vehicle's history shows failures limited to common wear-and-tear components.
