Should you buy a used Renault Trafic SL27 DCI 115?

The Renault Trafic SL27 DCI 115 has an overall MOT pass rate of 74.0% across 1,394 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.

The most common problems on the Renault Trafic SL27 DCI 115 are constant velocity joint gaiter insecure to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc (3 recorded failures), windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (2), and parking brake: efficiency below requirements (2). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.

A typical Renault Trafic SL27 DCI 115 owner drives around 9,158 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
