X335 ARJ MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Renault Master (X335 ARJ) between December 2022 and October 2025.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 13 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Steering (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 5 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced inner ”; “Offside Front Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced inner ”; “Oil leaking excessively from engine (8.4.1 (a) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution before consider
If you proceed, your primary focus must be on the structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork. The October 2025 failure specifically noted significant corrosion to the nearside rear inner wheel arch and the offside front inner sill/step. You should inspect these areas thoroughly to ensure the repairs made to pass the test were robust and not merely cosmetic.
Additionally, investigate the cause of the 'excessive' engine oil leak reported in 2025. Given the engine size of 2799cc, a significant leak can be costly to rectify. Check the service history for evidence of recent major repairs related to the steering rack or suspension, as the MOT history shows recurring issues with steering rack gaiters and inner joints.
As a 2.8L diesel commercial vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Expect higher fuel consumption consistent with a large van, and insurance groups for older commercial vehicles can vary significantly depending on usage.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are likely to be frequent. You should budget for regular replacement of suspension components, seals, and brake pipes, which have appeared in previous MOT records. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be substantial.
A thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside is mandatory. Specifically, look for signs of welding or structural patching in the nearside rear wheel arch and the offside front sill/step to address the corrosion issues noted in the 2025 MOT failure.
Check for any residual oil traces around the engine block to ensure the 'excessive' leak reported in October 2025 has been fully resolved. You should also inspect the steering system, specifically the steering rack gaiters and joints, as these have been flagged as points of failure or advisory in both 2022 and 2024.
This 2000 Renault Master has covered 230,835 miles since its first registration in October 2000. While the most recent MOT in October 2025 was a pass with no defects, it followed a serious failure just five days earlier involving structural corrosion and excessive oil leaks. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of mechanical and structural issues that are common for a commercial vehicle of this age and mileage.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Renault Master model to provide a comparative benchmark.
