2006 Renault Trafic 1.9L Diesel · YG06 FCP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 112,969 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior. The passing result left multiple advisories regarding play in the drag link ends, the anti-roll bar linkage, and a Macpherson strut bush. These issues indicate that suspension components are only being addressed once they approach a point of failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At approximately 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 112,969 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year. This low usage profile often correlates with vehicles sitting for extended periods, which can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and cause corrosion. There is a significant gap in the record between the October 2022 and the November 2023 tests, during which the vehicle covered approximately 7,400 miles. The subsequent activity in 2025 shows a more consistent usage pattern despite the overall low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record repeatedly flags faults in ball joints and anti-roll bar links. The 2025 failure highlighted significant neglect of the braking system, with thin rear pads and worn front discs, suggesting the owner ignores basic consumable items until an MOT test demands replacement. Additionally, the previously split offside front CV boot noted in 2023 warrants a check for grease leakage or damage to the drive shaft joint. The previous SRS warning lamp fault from 2023 should also be verified to ensure the fault was properly rectified and not merely cleared.
