2015 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · SM65 ETV

The 2015 Renault Trafic presents a broadly stable mechanical picture at its most recent MOT on 30 October 2025, when it passed at 30,502 miles. That test flagged worn nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes, though neither was causing excessive movement. The maintenance trend is neither clearly worsening nor resolving; it is a mixed record where consumable wear items and minor suspension wear appear periodically, but no dangerous or major structural defects have been recorded across the five-year history provided. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old van. Covering just 30,502 miles over roughly eleven years equates to approximately 2,773 miles per year, well below typical commercial van usage. The annual increments are fairly consistent, rising from 21,830 miles in October 2021 to 23,526 miles in October 2022, then 24,938 miles in November 2023, 26,698 miles in October 2024, and finally 30,502 miles in October 2025. The jump between October 2024 and October 2025 accounts for 3,804 miles, the largest single-year increase in the record, suggesting slightly heavier recent use after a period of particularly light running. There are no obvious gaps in the MOT sequence, with tests recorded annually from 2021 through 2025. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components, as these are the areas where recurring advisories and minor defects have clustered. The anti-roll bar linkage wear noted in October 2025 may have progressed, so check for clunking over uneven surfaces and play in the drop links and bushes. The front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in November 2023, and the rear brake discs were similarly noted in October 2022, so inspect all four discs for lipping, scoring, and thickness variation, and check the calipers for signs of binding or uneven pad wear. Front tyre wear has appeared as an advisory in three of the five tests, including both fronts worn to the legal limit in November 2023 and October 2022, suggesting possible tracking, inflation, or alignment issues that may persist. Given the low mileage and long periods of limited use, also inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, check the underside for surface rust or structural deterioration, and verify that the tyres have adequate date codes and even tread, as older rubber can perish regardless of remaining depth.
