2019 Renault Trafic SL28 Sport Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · WD69 BXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding the braking system components. The most recent test in December 2025 at 91,089 miles identified that both rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. This follows a previous advisory from December 2024 at 86,219 miles regarding a nearside front service brake that was fluctuating. While the vehicle continues to pass, the recurring appearance of brake-related defects suggests that the hardware is reaching the end of its effective life. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between the December 2022 test at 74,986 miles and the December 2025 test at 91,089 miles, the vehicle covered 16,103 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the van is used regularly rather than sitting idle, though the high mileage for a commercial vehicle typically puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and turbo-related components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to determine if the discs and pads require immediate replacement beyond the MOT advisory. The fluctuating nature of the front service brake indicates potential disc thinning or a sticking caliper piston that has not yet been fully addressed. Given the high mileage and the pitting on the rear discs, the inspection should also check for excessive play in the suspension arms and shock absorbers, as these are common points of failure on Trafic models of this age.
