About This Data
The 1995 Renault Trafic has an MOT pass rate of 44.7% based on 5,816 tests — significantly below the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 86,683 miles on the odometer. With a 55.3% failure rate, the 1995 Trafic is rated as "Very Poor" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 1995 Renault Trafic, be prepared for above-average maintenance costs. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to body, chassis, structure: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely. With an average mileage of 86,683 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.
Body, chassis, structure — 3.7% of failures
Body, chassis, structure issues account for 3.7% of MOT failures on 1995 Renault Trafic models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: £100–500+. Pre-MOT check: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely.
Brakes — 3.5% of failures
Brakes issues account for 3.5% of MOT failures on 1995 Renault Trafic models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 3.0% of failures
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 3.0% of MOT failures on 1995 Renault Trafic models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
