2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SL67 EPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 183,886 miles passed, several minor electrical and cosmetic defects were noted, including an inoperative lamp and a damaged windscreen. The transition from a failure in May 2024 to a pass later that same month suggests necessary repairs were made but highlights that components are only addressed once they reached a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between October 2022 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered 88,629 miles in just over three years. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial or motorway use, which accelerates the wear rate on drivetrain and suspension components. The clean records found between 2021 and 2022 contrast sharply with the high-intensity operation observed in the later years of the vehicle's life. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The May 2024 failure highlighted multiple issues including worn anti-roll bar linkages and a track rod end ball joint, alongside pitted front brake discs. These components should be checked for remaining play or premature wear. Furthermore, the oil leak noted in 2024 requires a close look to ensure it has not worsened or developed into a significant seal failure. Given the high mileage, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the turbocharger and clutch are also priorities during a physical inspection.
