2010 Renault Trucks Master 120.35 Lwb

CarHunch analysed 149 real MOT records for the 2010 Renault Trucks Master 120.35 Lwb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2010 Renault Master is significantly less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 66% against the 80% benchmark—and nearly half of all vehicles in this cohort have recorded dangerous defects, which is a serious red flag for any commercial operator or buyer. The petrol/diesel split data isn't available, but the high proportion of dangerous faults suggests systemic structural or safety issues rather than isolated problems.

At 139,000 miles median, these vans show typical wear for their age, but they're averaging 4.79 failures per MOT, indicating that age-related degradation is hitting hard. With 22.4 advisories per vehicle on top of that, expect ongoing maintenance costs; before committing to one, have an independent inspection focus specifically on braking, suspension, and bodywork integrity.

What to check before buying a 2010 Renault Trucks Master 120.35 Lwb

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 49% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
