2020 Renault Master LH35 B-Ness Energy DCI 2.3L Diesel · YK70 XTG

The overall roadworthiness status is currently poor due to a series of recurring structural and mechanical failures that have degraded the vehicle's condition since the most recent test in the September 2023 test at 75,369 miles. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which indicates a serious fluid leak in the suspension bushings and/or coil springs that has not been corrected since the failed test on 2023-08-16. The engine's exhaust emissions are also severely compromised, as the light intensity significantly reduced and the rear obscured by a framework, suggesting a failing exhaust system that has not been addressed since the failed test on 2023-08-16. The brake discs appear to have been replaced, but the binding condition remains a critical concern that requires immediate professional inspection. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation and significant gaps between MOTs, which is a primary indicator of poor maintenance habits. The vehicle has experienced a gap of 12,604 miles between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests, followed by another 2,805-mile gap in August 2023, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped during these intervals. This accumulation of mileage since the September 2023 test at 52,000 miles is concerning, as it implies that the vehicle has been driven at high speeds or under heavy load conditions for an extended period, which would accelerate wear on critical components like suspension bushings and brake discs. Given the recurring failure of the suspension components and the significant gap in mileage, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify if the binding brakes have been corrected since the failed test on 2023-08-16, and to assess the condition of the exhaust system and engine components. A thorough visual inspection of the wheel bearings, suspension bushings, and brake discs is required to determine if the fluid leak has been repaired and if the engine and exhaust systems are functional, as the current roadworthiness is fundamentally compromised by these unresolved issues.
