Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage, but the recent MOT history is clean. This 2016 Renault Master is a high-use workhorse that has consistently passed its tests without recorded defects.
When inspecting this specific 2.3L diesel Renault Master, your primary focus should be on the mechanical implications of its 235,926-mile odometer reading. While the MOT history shows no failures, an MOT is a minimum safety standard and does not reflect the mechanical health of the engine, turbocharger, or clutch.
Request a detailed service history to see how the high mileage has been managed. Given the age and usage, check for signs of heavy loading or wear on the suspension components and braking system. Negotiate based on the high mileage, as even with a clean MOT record, components like the alternator, water pump, and fuel injectors are nearing the end of their typical lifespans at this stage.
As a 2299cc diesel, running costs will be dictated by its use as a commercial vehicle. Fuel economy will vary significantly depending on the load carried and whether it is used for urban deliveries or motorway cruising.
Tax and insurance groups for the Renault Master are generally moderate for its class, but insurance costs can fluctuate based on the driver's profile and the vehicle's use. Maintenance costs for a van of this age and mileage should be budgeted for higher than average, as wear-and-tear items will require more frequent replacement.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. Although the MOT history from 2021 to 2026 shows zero defects, high-mileage vans are prone to corrosion on chassis components and exhaust systems.
Check the turbocharger for any signs of oil leaks or unusual noises, and listen for any irregular idling which could indicate issues with the diesel fuel system. Additionally, inspect the tyres and brake pads; while these didn't cause a failure in the recent 235,926-mile MOT, they are critical consumables that likely require attention given the vehicle's history of high annual mileage.
This white 2016 Renault Master is a 2.3L diesel van that has covered significant distance, currently sitting at 235,926 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has a consistent record of five consecutive MOT passes since 2021, notably with no defects recorded in the last five years of testing. While the mileage is high, the lack of recorded MOT failures suggests the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy state according to official inspections.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Renault Master model to provide a comparative benchmark.
