2020 Renault Trafic LL30 Sport Energy DCI A 2.0L Diesel · YT20 XTC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in February 2025 at 40,886 miles passed despite the presence of a central front oil leak and a chipped windscreen. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the record shows recurring failures related to braking components and suspension hardware, suggesting that faults are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold. At approximately six years old with 40,886 miles, the Renault Trafic averages roughly 6,800 miles per year, which is consistent with light commercial use for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with approximately 5,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,500 miles between February 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which can cause seals to perish. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the powertrain, as an oil leak was first noted in February 2023 and persisted through the 2025 test. This persistent issue requires a close look to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a developing leak. The offside front shock absorber was flagged for oil misting in 2024 and should be inspected for any significant weeping or loss of damping, as misting often precedes a total failure of the internal seal. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, evidenced by the February 2023 failure due to thin front pads and worn front discs. While these items were reportedly replaced following the failure, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs for any uneven wear or glazing. Ensuring all lighting remains functional, specifically the nearside stop lamp which failed in 2024, is also essential.
