2019 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SJ19 GRW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 81,225 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional daytime running lamp and a worn nearside tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach a legal failure threshold during an MOT inspection. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year over the seven-year period. Between June 2023 at 60,420 miles and June 2024 at 70,188 miles, the van covered just over 10,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which helps prevent internal engine issues associated with long periods, though the high mileage of 81,225 miles places standard and expected wear on suspension components and braking systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the June 2024 failure flagged a track rod end with excessive play. This type of wear often causes uneven tyre degradation, which manifested again in the following year. The 2025 advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre worn on the outer stepped edge points to a potential alignment issue or a worn shock absorber that requires verification to prevent premature tyre replacement. A thorough check of the lighting clusters and tyre condition is also necessary to ensure the previous failures were rectified correctly.
