2020 Renault Trafic Ll30 Sport Energy DCI A

CarHunch analysed 304 real MOT records for the 2020 Renault Trafic Ll30 Sport Energy DCI A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Trafic diesel van is outperforming the UK average by nearly 10 percentage points, with an 89.7% first-time pass rate against the national 80%—a genuinely strong result that reflects solid build quality. The dangerous defect rate of 12.5% is acceptable and below the concerning threshold, suggesting buyers shouldn't lose sleep over safety issues.

At an average mileage of 50,522 for a 2020 model, these vans are running hard but not excessively so for their type. The low failure rate of 0.41 per vehicle combined with 2.5 advisories points to a straightforward maintenance profile—focus on the routine stuff and this engine should keep pulling without surprise bills. When shopping, look for full service history on the DCI engine: these are bulletproof when looked after, but gaps in maintenance are the real red flag.

What to check before buying a 2020 Renault Trafic Ll30 Sport Energy DCI A

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.
