2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · VO66 AMU

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, reflecting a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 January 2026 at 162,284 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 154,829 miles, indicating that the vehicle has been meeting minimum standards without recurring mechanical failures in the latest two testing cycles. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 16,200 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between October 2022 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 15,324 miles, showing a consistent rate of operation typical of a commercial work vehicle. The gap between the October 2023 failure and the November 2023 pass, where only 34 miles were recorded between 152,976 and 153,010, suggests a minor issue that was immediately rectified rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage stress, despite the clean MOT records. At 162,284 miles, the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs are likely to show significant wear or fatigue. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers or thinning discs is essential, as the MOT only tests the efficiency and basic safety of these components. The absence of structural corrosion advisories is positive, but checking the chassis for rust around the rear and mounting points remains crucial for long-term durability.
