2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SJ16 ACS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record following a single historical failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 September 2025 at 52,987 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,300 miles annually. Between August 2022 at 41,384 miles and September 2025 at 52,987 miles, the vehicle covered only 11,603 miles over three years. This low usage often implies less wear on high-stress drivetrain components and brake assemblies, though it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts if the vehicle sits for extended periods. The consistent interval of roughly 4,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests a regular usage schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related deterioration rather than high-mile wear. Because the mileage is low, check for cracking in suspension bushes and control arm components, which can develop over time regardless of distance. The failure on 16 August 2023 at 45,370 miles was resolved immediately with a pass the following day, but the record does not specify the nature of that fault. Investigate the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around mounting points, to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked integrity issues over the decade of service.
