2019 Renault Master 2.3L Diesel · WK69 EHC

A recurring pattern of suspension wear, specifically regarding the anti-roll bar linkages and bushes, defines the mechanical history of this vehicle. These chassis components have been a consistent point of failure and concern over the last three years, culminating in a failure on 13 May 2026 due to excessively worn ball joints and bushes across both the front and rear axles. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on that same date following repairs, the record shows a trend of degradation in the vehicle's stabilizing components. With 197,641 miles recorded over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 28,234 miles per year. This high annual accumulation is indicative of heavy commercial usage, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The rapid mileage buildup is reflected in the historical record, specifically the frequent failure of chassis linkages and the dangerous tyre tread depth recorded in 2024. Inspection should focus on the current state of the suspension, as the pass on 13 May 2026 still carries an advisory for light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed cornering, as these are typical symptoms of worn anti-roll bar linkages or perished bushes. Attention must also be paid to the braking system and tyre condition given the 2024 failure for a significantly worn offside front brake disc and a dangerous tyre tread depth. Check for any pedal judder or steering vibration under braking, which may suggest uneven disc wear. Additionally, the windscreen should be inspected to ensure that the damage noted in 2024 has been properly addressed and does not obstruct the driver's view.
