2011 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · WN61 YPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension and steering integrity. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 103,206 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior where multiple critical components were flagged. The record shows the owner addressed the track rod end, rear shock absorber, and tyre wear, but the recurring nature of suspension-related faults suggests that mechanical upkeep is only performed reactively to failures rather than through a preventative schedule. At 103,206 miles over 15 years, the Renault Trafic averages 6,880 miles per year, which is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle of this age. However, there is a notable gap in mileage data between the October 2023 test at 94,594 miles and the November 2024 test, where the vehicle covered nearly 4,000 miles in a short period. This recent burst of activity likely coincided with the rapid degradation of the suspension components, specifically the detached rear bushes and worn ball joints. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension assemblies. The history consistently flags issues with anti-roll bar bushes, ball joints, and arm bushes, which indicates a potential for further play elsewhere in the undercarriage. The presence of corroded brake pipes noted in 2024 requires close scrutiny to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond manageable limits, as the tester noted they were covered in grease to mask rust. Attention should also be paid to the transmission oil leak reported in February 2026, which, while deemed non-excessive, represents an active seal failure. The recurring uneven wear on the offside front tyre across three consecutive tests suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn component that should be verified to prevent premature failure of new rubber. Finally, the damaged windscreen in Zone B, which has remained a persistent advisory for three years, should be checked for spreading cracks that could compromise the structural integrity of the glass.
