2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SJ16 PJS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final MOT test conducted on 29 January 2024 at 70,504 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that time. While the history shows failures in two consecutive years, the immediate re-tests following those failures suggest that minor issues were rectified quickly by the owner rather than representing a systemic neglect of mechanical maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,050 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 49,856 miles and the 2023 test at 58,424 miles, the vehicle covered 8,568 miles. A more significant interval of 12,080 miles occurred between January 2023 and January 2024. This relatively low annual mileage suggests light use, which typically limits the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to dry-related components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most susceptible to age-related degradation despite the low mileage. Given that the record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a close check for surface rust on the chassis and mounting points is essential, as these vans are prone to moisture retention over time. The rubber bushes in the suspension should be examined for cracking or perished which occurs regardless of mileage. Since the last recorded MOT was over two years ago as of the current date, the vehicle is now overdue for testing, and a fresh inspection is required to ensure no new mechanical faults have developed since the 2024 test.
