Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2010 Renault Trucks Master 120.35 Lwb?

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.

We have limited data for the 2010 Renault Trucks Master 120.35 Lwb — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
