2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · TM08 MOW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 at 54,687 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable but reactive approach to consumable wear. While the latest test identified low or worn front brake pads, this follows a previous previous warning of thin rear brake pads noted in September 2022. This suggests the owner tends to address braking components only when they approach the failure threshold rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between September 2024 and May 2025, and nearly 6,000 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This low annual usage generally correlates with less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components or fluids not subjected to high-heat cycles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and tyre geometry. The September 2024 test flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit and unevenly on the edges, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the recurring mentions of brake pad wear across both axles, the discs should be checked for glazing or uneven thinning to ensure the calipers are not sticking. The offside mirror damage and stop lamp failure noted in 2024 should also be verified as fully rectified to ensure the vehicle meets current safety standards.
