2022 Renault Master MM35 Business+ Blue DCI 2.3L Diesel · YM22 ABU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 16 April 2026 at 86,183 miles, it failed that same day due to a non-functional offside front headlamp. The presence of an oil leak and a worn tyre during this test indicates that the owner is only addressing faults once they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance between intervals. The mileage profile is high for a four-year-old van, averaging over 21,500 miles per annum. Between the 25 April 2025 test at 76,537 miles and the April 2026 test at 86,183 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles. This heavy usage places significant strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The clean record from 2025 contrasts with the recent defects, suggesting that component wear is accelerating under this high mileage. A physical inspection must focus on the front oil leak flagged in the April 2026 test. Although the tester noted the leak was not excessive, high-mileage Renault Masters often suffer from crankcase seal or sump gasket failures that can escalate if not monitored. The nearside front tyre was found worn on the edge at 3mm, suggesting an alignment issue or worn suspension components that require immediate attention to prevent further tyre wastage. Buyers should also check the brake discs for thickness and scoring, as the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of premature pad wear and caliper fatigue.
