1997 Renault Master T35d Lwb
CarHunch is tracking 144 1997 Renault Master T35d Lwb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1997 Renault Master T35D LWB is an exceptionally reliable van—90% of these vehicles pass their MOT first time, well above the UK average of 80%, and none have ever recorded a dangerous defect across the 144 tested. The diesel engines in this cohort are bulletproof by any standard, with an average of just 0.03 failures per vehicle and zero advisories recorded.
These vans are racking up genuine miles, with a median of 87,253 against an average of 68,517, yet still delivering near-perfect MOT results—a strong sign the T35D was built to absorb heavy use. If you're buying one, check the service history and inspect the bodywork for rust, but mechanically you're looking at a workhorse that will pass test after test.
We have 144 1997 Renault Master T35d Lwb vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1997 Renault Master T35d 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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
