This Renault Trafic is a solid performer in MOT terms, with an 88.9% first-time pass rate that sits comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and only 12.1% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is well within acceptable bounds for a commercial van of this age. The low failure count of 0.35 per vehicle suggests these vans are generally well-maintained, though the 2.0 advisories per vehicle indicates routine wear items are cropping up as expected.

At around 43,000 miles median (roughly 10,000 miles per year for a three-year-old vehicle), these are working vans but not heavily abused, which correlates with the good pass rate. If you're considering one, check the service history carefully and budget for the advisory-flagged items—typically suspension bushes, exhaust components, and brake pad wear on a van this age—before they become failures.
