2020 Renault Trucks Master 35 LWB 2.3L Diesel · WU70 CVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a decline in maintenance standards following a period of clean records. While the truck passed its 2023 and 2024 tests without any defects, the October 2025 test at 141,911 miles revealed multiple mechanical and electrical failures that required immediate attention. The failure due to an inoperative engine management indicator light and restricted rear brake linkage suggests that critical diagnostic systems and braking components were not being proactively serviced prior to the annual test. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 23,650 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 90,196 miles and the October 2025 test at 141,911 miles, the vehicle covered over 51,000 miles in two years. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The transition from a defect-free record at 119,605 miles to multiple failures later indicates that the high-intensity usage is now leading to accelerated wear-and-tear on major components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the rear linkage which was previously flagged for restricted movement. The handbrake was also just at the limit during the last pass, suggesting the cables or adjustment mechanism are nearing the end of their effective life. The presence of cracking on the offside rear tyre and a cut on the nearside front indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance. Furthermore, the previous failure of the engine management indicator light must be verified to ensure there are no lingering sensor faults or emission issues that were merely masked after the fault code was cleared.
