2019 Renault Trafic Business Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · SW19 ORY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 9 March 2026 at 60,138 miles. The maintenance trend shows intermittent mechanical failures that require attention, though the most recent result indicates that previous defects have been rectified. The record shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care, with specific components failing shortly before successful retests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 11,829 miles in March 2021 to the current 60,138 miles in March 2026. No significant periods of inactivity or sudden surges in usage are evident in the recorded intervals. The usage pattern suggests regular, predictable operation which typically avoids the complications associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the front suspension assembly. The March 2026 failure at 60,137 miles specifically flagged excessively worn top mount pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension. This follows a previous advisory in March 2022 at 24,276 miles regarding reduced damping on the nearside front shock absorber. While the recent test passed, the recurrence of suspension-related issues suggests these components may be reaching the end of their service life or that the wear is accelerating. The parking brake should also be verified during a test drive. The vehicle failed on 6 March 2024 at 43,717 miles due to parking brake efficiency falling below required standards. Although this was resolved for the subsequent pass, checking the tension and engagement of the handbrake is a prudent step. Overall, the mechanical history is relatively clean, but the suspension components represent the primary area of technical concern.
