2011 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · WJ11 AYV

The roadworthiness of this major Master is currently poor, showing a trend of deteriorating maintenance and frequent reactive repairs. The most recent test in April 2024 at 201,744 miles resulted in a significant failure involving critical defects across braking, suspension, and lighting. While the vehicle passed in early 2023, the subsequent volume of failures in the following year indicates that essential components are only being addressed once they reach failure thresholds rather than through preventative servicing. The vehicle has covered 201,744 miles over 15 years, averaging approximately 13,450 miles per annum. This represents consistent high-mileage usage for a commercial vehicle, with 6,000 miles recorded between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 5,600 miles between March 2022 and April 2023. This steady accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain and chassis, which is evidenced by the repeated failure of wear items throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system due to recurring issues. The April 2024 test flagged excessive corrosion on both front brake pipes, worn lower arm bushes, and an excessively worn upper shock absorber bush. These follow previous failures regarding insecure shock absorbers and ball joints in 2022. Furthermore, the split nearside front CV boot noted in the latest test suggests an imminent risk of drive shaft failure if not replaced immediately. The parking brake system remains a primary concern, having failed for low efficiency in both 2023 and 2024. Given the history of blown bulbs, missing side indicators, and failing washers, the vehicle demonstrates a lack of general attention to minor maintenance. Any prospective purchaser should verify the structural integrity of the brake lines and the condition of the intercooler, which was previously noted as loose, before concluding the vehicle is fit for further heavy-duty use.
