2014 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · YP64 ACF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑08 ended in failure at 192 379 miles, leaving it currently non‑roadworthy despite a simultaneous pass entry at the same mileage. The pattern of defects has shifted from a largely clean record in 2017‑2019 to a cluster of failures in 2021‑2025, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Recurring issues such as front track‑rod end play, rear coil‑spring fracture, brake‑disc wear, engine‑management warnings, ESC faults, missing fuel cap and faulty seat‑belt buckles suggest that basic upkeep has been neglected as the mileage accumulated. Mileage progression reflects heavy usage for a 2014 model. Over roughly 12 years the car has logged 192 382 miles, averaging about 16 000 miles per annum. The log shows a steady climb: from 85 221 miles in November 2017 to 192 382 miles by September 2025, with notable jumps between the 2022 test (173 891 miles) and the 2025 test (192 382 miles). The data is not sparse; annual tests are recorded up to the most recent failure, confirming consistent high‑mileage operation. A buyer should inspect the suspension components first, checking front track‑rod ends for excessive play and rear coil springs for fracture. Brake discs on all four wheels show pitting and wear; the calipers should be examined for binding and the discs for thickness within limits. The engine management system must be verified – the MIL should be extinguished and the ESC module tested for proper operation. The fuel‑cap sealing device and seat‑belt buckles need physical checks to ensure they meet DVSA standards. Finally, tyre condition, especially the rear tyres that have recorded cuts and perishing, must be assessed for legal tread depth and structural integrity before purchase.
