2009 Renault Master 2.5L Diesel · YX59 DBZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of recurring mechanical wear and deferred minor repairs. The most recent test in April 2026 at 149,530 miles passed with several advisories, including a damaged offside rear light lens and a worn rear anti-roll bar pin or bush. This suspension bush issue was also noted during the 2025 test, indicating that the owner has opted to monitor worn components rather than replacing them once they reached the advisory stage. At 149,530 miles, the Renault Master averages approximately 8,800 miles per year over its 17-year life, which is consistent with typical commercial usage patterns. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 7,200 miles between 2024 and 2025. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which helps prevent seals and rubber components from degrading. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front-end suspension and braking system. The 2022 test flagged significant issues including the offside front wheel bearing and both front lower suspension arm ball joints, alongside thin rear brake pads and discs. While later tests did not repeat these specific failures, the recurring presence of non-excessive oil leaks in 2022 and 2024 warrants a close look at the engine and gearbox seals to ensure the leak is not escalating. The persistent wear on the rear anti-roll bar bush also requires attention to prevent it from becoming a structural failure in the future.
