2010 Renault Trucks Master 120.35 LWB 2.5L Diesel · YX60 FAM

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical wear across steering and braking systems. The most recent test in June 2025 at 449,553 miles shows the vehicle passing with multiple advisories that indicate a lack of preventative maintenance. Specifically, the parking brake efficiency barely met the legal threshold, and the front steering rack gaiters are deteriorated on both sides. These findings suggest that critical components are reaching the end of their functional life and require imminent attention. This Master shows an exceptionally high usage profile, averaging approximately 28,000 miles per year over its 16-year life. Between February 2021 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 90,362 miles, representing a consistent rate of over 22,500 miles annually. This heavy-duty duty cycle explains the accelerated degradation of the drivetrain and suspension components. The persistent presence of non-excessive oil leaks across every test since 2021 indicates a long-term weeping issue that has not been addressed or rectified by previous owners. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension geometry. The record consistently flags play in the steering rack inner joints and lower suspension arm ball joints, which persisted from 2022 through 2025. The progression from play in the inner joints to a worn track rod end indicates that the entire front end is steadily failing. Furthermore, the braking system shows signs of neglect, with pitted and scored discs and a parking brake that is now operating at the limit of its adjustment range. The recurring failures regarding inoperative lamps and defective headlamp lenses suggest that the previous owners performed only the minimum required to pass the test. The damaged steering rack gaiters are a particular concern as they allow grit to enter the rack, likely leading to expensive steeringbox failure. At this mileage, the risk of secondary component failure in the drivetrain and braking assembly is high, and a significant budget should be allocated for comprehensive mechanical repairs to bring the vehicle to a reliable standard.
