2005 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · WU55 FHM

The Renault Trafic presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 10 October 2024 at 146,658 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes between August 2021 and October 2024 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers at any stage. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,984 miles based on the recorded figures, which is typical for a 21-year-old van. The records show steady accumulation: 118,222 miles in August 2021, 125,396 in October 2022, 135,095 in October 2023, and 146,658 by October 2024. A minor gap exists between the August 2021 and October 2022 tests, but the 7,174-mile increase over that period stays in line with the long-term average. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. The failed test on 7 October 2024 at 146,492 miles is notable, yet the DVSA record shows no defects listed against that failure. Three days later the van passed at 146,658 miles with a clear sheet. This pattern points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than worn components, though a buyer should confirm the failure reason from the full VOSA certificate. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, no specific fault trend demands attention. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity underneath for rust, check coil springs and binding calipers, and verify tyre condition, as these items escape MOT capture until worn beyond limits. The clean history implies reasonable care, but at 146,658 miles consumables near end of life warrant a physical check.
