2010 Renault Trafic SL27 DCI 115 Diesel · ST60 GRZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 28 November 2025 at 173,512 miles , confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The preceding test cycle shows two consecutive failures in October 2024 (164,813 miles) and August 2023 (153,999 miles), both resolved within days, suggesting either a brief but thorough rectification or a minor, recurring issue that was swiftly addressed. The absence of defects in the latest pass indicates no ongoing structural or safety-critical failures, though the rapid succession of tests—particularly the 56-day gap between failure and pass in 2024 —implies either a rushed repair or a component prone to intermittent failure. Without specific advisory notes, the trend appears stable rather than worsening, but the lack of defects in recent tests does not preclude hidden wear on high-mileage components. The recorded mileage of 173,512 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 10,844 miles annually , which is typical for a commercial or mixed-use vehicle of this age. The most notable pattern is the 8,663-mile jump between the 2023 and 2024 tests , suggesting either a period of intensive use or a deliberate reset of the odometer—though the latter is unlikely given the consistency of the 2024–2025 interval. The 56-day gap between the 2024 failure and pass also raises curiosity, as it exceeds the standard 12-month MOT cycle, though this could reflect a private seller’s urgency rather than neglect. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, and the mileage progression does not indicate severe underuse or prolonged storage. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , as the 2024 failure—though unspecified—often correlates with binding or worn suspension parts in this model. The braking system warrants scrutiny, especially the rear calipers and discs , as repeated MOT failures in August 2023 and October 2024 may hint at drag or uneven wear. Exhaust emissions should also be checked, as the 2024 failure could have stemmed from a catalytic converter or sensor issue, which are common in diesel models at this mileage. Structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is critical, given the vehicle’s age, while tyre condition —despite no MOT failures—should be verified, as tread depth can degrade rapidly in commercial use. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but they represent the most likely candidates for deferred maintenance.
