2002 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · WR51 YRC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT results, despite historical inconsistencies. The final test conducted on 13 January 2023 at 176,599 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This followed a successful pass on 13 January 2022, which also showed no issues. While the history shows immediate failures prior to these passes, the vehicle has maintained a clean record for the last two annual inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 24-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 7,358 miles per year. Between the January 2022 and January 2023 tests, the vehicle covered 11,880 miles, moving from 164,719 to 176,599 miles. This indicates regular annual use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and brake systems that remain driven to prevent seizing or de- corrosion. However, the three-year gap since the last recorded MOT means the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unverified and represents a significant risk factor. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age and mileage of this Renault Trafic, corrosion on the sills, floor pans, and exhaust mounting is a primary concern that data cannot reveal. The tester should also check for perished rubber bushes and control arms, as these often fail at this mileage. Because the record is silent for three years, a manual assessment of the brake discs, pads, and tyre depth is essential to ensure components have not reached the end of their service life since the last official check.
