2017 Renault Trafic 1.6L Diesel · YR67 UCD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 07 May 2026 at 61,508 miles. However, the maintenance trend reveals a significant period of mechanical neglect during mid-2025. While the vehicle passed without defects in 2023 and 2024, the failure in May 2025 indicates a breakdown in preventative care regarding the front suspension. The subsequent pass a year later suggests that these critical faults were addressed, but the history shows a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The vehicle progressed from 42,802 miles in March 2023 to 61,508 miles in May 2026, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 6,200 miles annually recently. This relatively low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, yet the 2025 failure demonstrates that rubber components and suspension hardware have suffered due to age and environmental factors despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the repairs following the 2025 failure were comprehensive. The tester previously flagged a fractured offside coil spring, a leaking shock absorber, and multiple worn ball joints and track rod ends. You should check for signs of remaining play in the steering or fluid weeping from the shock absorber seals. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the rear indicates a potential alignment issue or worn bushes, which should be verified against the current tyre condition to prevent premature replacement costs.
