2010 Renault Master 3.0L Diesel · SW60 PCU

The 2010 Renault Master’s most recent MOT test on 2025-04-24—just under a year ago at 106,552 miles—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. However, the history reveals a pattern of repeated retests at the same mileage intervals, specifically in 2023 and 2024, where both the initial and retest dates align precisely (2023-03-29 and 2024-04-11). This suggests the vehicle was brought in for testing at the same point in its service cycle, though no faults were ever recorded on either occasion. The lack of advisories or defects in any test implies no major mechanical or structural issues have been flagged by official inspectors, though the retest pattern does warrant scrutiny of whether minor concerns were overlooked or consistently resolved between tests. The mileage progression of roughly 6,660 miles annually over the past six years aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage jumps between tests—approximately 5,175 miles between 2023 and 2024, and another 2,574 miles between 2024 and 2025—reflect steady, moderate usage without evidence of neglect or aggressive driving. There are no gaps longer than a year between tests, which suggests the vehicle has been regularly serviced for MOT compliance, though this does not confirm private maintenance or genuine service intervals. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely checked during an MOT. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in commercial vans of this age. Brake systems, including the rear calipers and discs, deserve close attention, as binding or uneven wear could have gone undetected without a thorough mechanical check. Additionally, the exhaust system, especially at the rear tailpipe and mid-section, should be inspected for leaks or structural corrosion, which could affect emissions and roadworthiness. The tyres, while not MOT-failed, may require assessment for uneven wear or remaining tread depth, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for signs of rust penetration, particularly around the sills and subframe, as this can compromise structural integrity over time.
