2016 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · V3 LKM

The Renault Master presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 18 November 2025 at 89,418 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The November 2025 pass came five days after a failure on 13 November 2025 at 89,414 miles, yet the DVSA record lists no defects against either test. A near-identical pattern occurred in September 2023, when the van failed on 12 September at 69,099 miles and passed the next day at 69,105 miles, again with no defects logged. These paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, and no advisories or wear items appear anywhere in the file. Mileage accumulation tracks closely to typical use for a ten-year-old 2016 vehicle. The record shows 69,105 miles in September 2023, rising to 80,639 by September 2024, then 89,418 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 8,900 to 11,800 miles per year, consistent with the ~8,942 annual average expected at this age. No standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes are evident, and the sparse but clean test history gives little cause for concern over neglected consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries mean the paper trail offers no insight into suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion, all of which escape detection without hands-on examination. Given the van's age and light commercial duty cycle, rear chassis rails and subframe mounts warrant particular attention for rust. Verify the circumstances behind both fail-pass pairs with the presenting garage, as unexplained failures can mask rejected paperwork or unrecorded rectification. Confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions during a viewing, since none were flagged but all fall outside the scope of a defect-free certificate.
