2019 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SH19 EEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on January 14, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test resulted in an immediate failure due to an offside front track rod end ball joint with excessive play, which was rectified quickly to achieve a clean pass. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a point of legal failure rather than replacing worn components during routine maintenance. At 61,889 miles over seven years, the Renault Trafic averages approximately 8,800 miles per year, which is consistent with light-to-medium commercial use. The mileage accumulation is steady, with 4,449 miles covered between the January 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,035 miles recorded before the January 2026 test. This consistent usage profile indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though it does mean standard wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the entire suspension and steering geometry. The 2024 failure regarding a fractured offside rear coil spring and the 2026 failure of the track rod end indicate that the front-end components are subject to stress. You must check for signs of uneven wear on the tyres and play in the steering linkage. Furthermore, the 2025 advisories for three tyres worn to the legal limit or on the edges suggest potential alignment issues or delayed maintenance regarding basic consumables. Verify the current state of all four tyres and ensure the previous suspension issues have been fully resolved with high-quality replacements.
