Renault Master Lm35 Business DCI (2015)
2015 Renault Master Lm35 Business DCI
CarHunch analysed 293 real MOT records for the 2015 Renault Master Lm35 Business DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2015 Renault Master is a serious reliability concern: only 35% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and the median CarHunch score of 30 out of 100 reflects how badly these vans age. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 0%, so while failures are common, they're typically fixable rather than safety-critical.
At 100,448 miles median, these vans are well-used work vehicles, and the 0.38 average failures per test confirms they'll need regular maintenance investment to keep roadworthy. If you're buying one, budget for an immediate pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist—don't rely on a recent MOT pass, since 65% fail their next test anyway.
What to check before buying a 2015 Renault Master Lm35 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.
