2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SH66 AAV

This Renault Trafic presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 102,011 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,201 miles per year. Between 1 June 2022 and 6 June 2023, the vehicle covered 10,621 miles. The gap between 22 August 2024 and 5 December 2025 shows a slight increase in usage, adding 9,998 miles over approximately 15 months. There are no erratic mileage jumps or periods of prolonged standing that would suggest hidden deterioration or clocking. The record shows a single failure on 3 June 2023 at 82,021 miles, which was resolved and passed three days later. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for this failure or any subsequent advisories, there is no evidence of recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. The absence of advisories over the last four years is atypical for a commercial vehicle of this age and mileage, implying a proactive approach to maintenance. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they are not yet at a legal limit. Check the condition of the clutch and gearbox synchronization, as these face significant stress in high-mileage vans. Examine the underside for surface corrosion on the chassis and check the depth of the tyre treads to ensure they have not worn down since the December 2025 test.
