2007 Renault Trafic 2.0L Diesel · YD07 TYZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of worsening mechanical and structural degradation. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 212,833 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to a porous offside front brake hose. The tester noted that the parking brake only barely met the required threshold, indicating a system nearing the limit of effectiveness. The recurring mention of underbody and suspension mounting corrosion suggests that the vehicle is experiencing significant environmental wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a working commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 184,706 miles in June 2022 and 197,121 miles in June 2023, followed by another 15,000 miles prior to the November 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the van is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which accounts for the progressive wear on rubber components like brake hoses and seals noted in the record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the underbody and suspension components. The record has consistently flagged corrosion in mounting areas and across the chassis since 2024, and the 2025 test specifically identified corroded rear coil springs. The braking system requires immediate attention, particularly the pitted rear discs and the previously unsupported front brake pipe, which are prone to further vibration-induced failure. The persistent oil leak noted in 2022 and 2023 should also be monitored to ensure it has not escalated into a significant leak that could compromise engine longevity or safety.
