Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Renault Master Lm35 Business + DCI?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2021 Renault Master Lm35 Business + DCI?

This 2021 Master van is performing just above the UK average with an 81.1% first-time pass rate, and the 13.5% rate of dangerous defects is acceptably low for a commercial vehicle. The diesel engine appears to be holding up reasonably well given the work these vans typically do.

At nearly 48,000 miles median (and averaging 57,460), these are well-used vehicles—typical for a van that's seen two years of service work. The low failure rate of 0.53 per vehicle is reassuring, though advisories average 1.8, so factor in minor maintenance costs when budgeting. If you're considering one, verify full service history and check the brake and suspension components closely, as these take the most strain on delivery vans.

The 2021 Renault Master Lm35 Business + DCI passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (83%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 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.

For context

🔧 Average reliability. Passes at roughly the UK rate — not a standout, not a problem vehicle. Individual history makes all the difference.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.8 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 783 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
