2016 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · YF16 XEG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes across all recorded tests. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 38,785 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a very stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures or structural degradation typically flagged during DVSA testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 3,878 miles per year. A significant discrepancy exists between the September 2021 test at 39,688 miles and the October 2022 test at 20,142 miles, suggesting the vehicle was either stored or used very sparingly during that period. Since 2022, usage has increased to a stead rate of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of component degradation from stationary periods. While the MOT record is flawless, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues associated with low-mileage operation. Long periods of standing can cause rubber components to perish, suspension bushes to crack, and brake calipers to seize or develop. The physical inspection should check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and ensure the tyres are not aged despite having low tread. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the integrity of the chassis for surface rust remains essential, as the MOT record has not yet identified any structural weaknesses.
