2010 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · SW10 KAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 114,381 miles passed with only an advisory for pitted rear brake discs, the preceding years show significant mechanical instability. The transition from a multi-fault failure in late 2023 to a clean pass in late 2024 suggests that major issues were addressed only when they threatened to keep the vehicle off the road. At 114,381 miles over sixteen years, the Renault Trafic averages approximately 7,150 miles per year, which is consistent with light commercial or secondary vehicle use. The mileage data shows consistent annual testing, with a notable gap between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests where the vehicle was driven just enough to trigger a re-test requirement. However, the low annual mileage does not insulate the vehicle from age-related degradation, as evidenced by the persistent corrosion and suspension-related failures noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural points, specifically focusing on the offside front sub-frame attachment bracket which was flagged as insecure in December 2024. The history of excessive corrosion on rear brake pipes and binding calipers in 2023 indicates that the braking system is prone to environmental damage and requires close monitoring for fluid leaks. The recurring failures regarding parking brake efficiency and worn ball joints suggest that the suspension geometry and braking hardware are nearing the end of their service life, necessitating a professional check for play in the steering and suspension components.
