2020 Renault Trafic LL30 B-Ness Energy DCI 2.0L Diesel · YF70 WKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in December 2025 at 108,067 miles identified thin rear brake pads and a severely deteriorated nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. While the vehicle passed despite these issues, the presence of these faults suggests that components are only addressed once they approach a point of failure or legal limitality. At 108,067 miles over six years, this Renault Trafic reflects a high mileage profile of approximately 18,000 miles annually. The data shows a significant surge of 21,965 miles covered between November 2023 (81,602 miles) and December 2025 (108,067 miles). This rapid accumulation typically places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is consistent with the recurring issues noted regarding road wheels and tyre wear throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the offside front road travelling was flagged as slightly distorted in both November 2023 and November 2024. This persistent fault often stems from heavy impact or chronic overloading and can lead to uneven tyre wear and handling instability. Furthermore, the history of tyres worn on the edges or below legal limits suggests potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that have not yet been fully rectified. Immediate attention should also be paid to the braking system and rubber components. The 2025 advisory confirms the rear brake pads are nearing replacement-. Given the high mileage and the noted deterioration of ball joint covers, a physical check for grease leaks in the steering and perished bushings is essential to ensure the vehicle does not require expensive mechanical intervention shortly after purchase.
