2020 Renault Master Lh35 Business DCI

CarHunch analysed 136 real MOT records for the 2020 Renault Master Lh35 Business DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2020 Renault Master diesel van passes its MOT on the first attempt 78.1% of the time, slightly below the UK average of 80%, suggesting modest reliability but nothing alarming. The 15.4% of vehicles that have recorded a dangerous defect is worth noting—it's not dramatic, but worth factoring into your decision if you're buying a high-mileage example.

At nearly 100,000 km on the clock (median 95,643), these vans are well-used workhorses, which explains the average of 0.94 failures per test and 3.3 advisories. The Carhunch score of 50 reflects a van that's performing decently for its age and mileage, but if you're buying one, get an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, brakes and steering components—the typical failure categories for commercial vehicles at this age.

What to check before buying a 2020 Renault Master Lh35 Business DCI

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.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
