How the Renault Trafic holds up with age
Every car fails the MOT more often as it gets older. What matters when you are buying is how steeply that happens for this particular model. These are the 2025 pass rates for the Renault Trafic grouped by the vehicle's age at the time of the test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 years | 11,756 | 80.98% |
| 6–10 years | 45,700 | 67.73% |
| 11 years and over | 45,321 | 56.55% |
The Renault Trafic drops 24.4 percentage points between its early years and the 11-plus bracket, which is a steep decline. On an older example, the MOT history is worth reading closely before you buy.
Why the Renault Trafic fails its MOT
Across every Renault Trafic that failed its 2025 MOT, the most common area of failure was suspension, accounting for 27.25% of all recorded failure items. These are the areas worth having checked before you buy, and worth budgeting for on an older example.

What this means when buying a used Renault Trafic
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average Renault Trafic came to its 2025 test at 114,930 miles and 11.1 years old. Most examples tested were diesel.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
