Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Renault Trafic Sl28 Business Blue 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.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Renault Trafic Sl28 Business Blue DCI?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Renault Trafic Sl28 Business Blue DCI?

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.

Is the 2022 Renault Trafic Sl28 Business Blue DCI reliable?

Based on MOT data from 1,343 vehicles, the 2022 Renault Trafic Sl28 Business Blue DCI has a first-time MOT pass rate of 87.8%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Renault Trafic Sl28 Business Blue DCI?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 Renault Trafic SL28 Business Blue dCi posts a first-time pass rate of 81.7%, which edges just ahead of the UK average of 80%, suggesting it's a reliably built van with no serious durability concerns. The dangerous defect rate of 6.3% is well within normal bounds, so safety isn't a red flag here.

At 39,645 miles median (43,296 average), these vans show typical wear for their age, and the low failure rate of 0.24 per vehicle confirms they're holding up well mechanically. Budget for around one advisory per inspection—typically minor issues like worn wiper blades or light adjustments—but if you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on transmission fluid condition and brake wear, as these are common cost items on commercial diesels.

The 2022 Renault Trafic Sl28 Business Blue DCI passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (87.8% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 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

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 87.8% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔍 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 1,343 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.
