Renault Trafic: reliability by registration year

2003-2022 · 20 registration years · 100,284 first tests

Registration years

First-attempt MOT results for every Trafic registration year with at least 500 first tests in 2025. Pass rates rise with newer cars, so read a year against its neighbours rather than against the top of the table.
