2010 Renault Master 2.2L Diesel · YC60 OGR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards worsening mechanical condition regarding the front suspension. While the van maintained clean records between 2022 and 2024, the June 2025 test at 145,108 miles flagged multiple advisories related to the front end. The presence of corroded coil springs on both front sides alongside leaking shock absorbers suggests that the front suspension components are reaching the end of their operational life. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between May 2021 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 16,017 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,000 miles annually. This low interval suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized brakes or perished seals. However, the consistent mileage also explains the gradual degradation of rubber bushes and metal suspension components noted in the latest MOT entry. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry to assess the extent of the corrosion on the coil springs and the integrity of the dampers. The 2025 report specifically noted misting of oil and reduced damping on the nearside front shock, which indicates the seals are failing and replacement is imminent. The buyer should also check the front direction indicators for further discolouration and verify the upper shock absorber bushes for signs of cracking or tearing. Given the age of the vehicle, a structural check of the chassis points for surface rust is essential to ensure the corrosion noted on the springs has not migrated to the mounting points.
