2022 Renault Master LM35 Business+ Blue DCI 2.3L Diesel · WN72 ACO

The most recent MOT test on 2025-08-18 confirms this Renault Master remains roadworthy, though the immediate preceding test on the same day—conducted at just five miles less—was a failure without recorded defects. This anomaly suggests either a technical error in the DVSA system or a deliberate retest after a minor oversight, but no substantive mechanical issues were flagged. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the single valid pass indicates no obvious pattern of neglect or deferred maintenance. However, the lack of a test between August 2025 and today means the vehicle has not undergone official inspection for nearly a year, placing responsibility for pre-purchase checks squarely on the buyer. The recorded mileage of 69,352 miles over approximately four years—roughly 17,300 miles annually—is unusually high for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the commercial nature of the Master. The gap between the two August 2025 tests (five miles apart) suggests either a rapid accumulation of mileage in a short period or an administrative retest, but no further mileage data is available to confirm usage patterns. Without intermediate MOTs or service records, it is impossible to determine whether this mileage was sustained steadily or accumulated in bursts, which could imply varying levels of stress on components like the drivetrain, suspension, or cooling system. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items likely affected by the elevated mileage. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as commercial use often accelerates these components. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close scrutiny for overheating or uneven wear, especially if the vehicle was used for heavy or frequent stops. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be assessed, as commercial vehicles are more prone to road salt and debris damage. Given the lack of advisories in the MOT, structural integrity appears intact, but a thorough underbody inspection is advisable to confirm no hidden corrosion or damage has developed since the last test.
