The Renault Trafic is a compact panel van with real personality and presence. It’s striking looks make this van stand out from the crowd, the Trafic, however, is not just a pretty face. Available in a range of styles, engine sizes, wheelbases and heights, the Trafic is a real work-horse that will suit any type of business you run and whatever cargo you need to transport. From refrigerated to basic panel the Trafic has a van for you.

Renault Trafic SL27 DCI 100 2003

1 star review

I had owned this van for 4yrs 2months. Nice to drive and plenty of space inside. Just traded it it in with many problems raising their ugly head. Have had to replace the following items on it: 2 x Mass air flow meters at £200 a pop, Alternator £400, Power Steering Pump £400. Had the cambelt replaced (£600) 6months ago only to have the job redone when the diesel pump broke costing an additional £1250! Garage told me that 3 out of the 4 glow plugs had stopped working potentially costing £1500 to replace if they had become seized in the head. The gearbox was starting to make noises that the garage said would need replacing at a cost of approx £3000+labour+VAT (Renault main dealer and brand new gearbox). Recon box would have cost £1500+labour+VAT! All this is on a 03 plate with 89,000miles. Has a full service history, so had not been neglected either. Would not buy another one of these vehicles as they are too unreliable!

Renault Trafic swb trafic 2003

2 star review

I’m running a swb trafic and am finding strong smell of oil when travelling on motorway recently. Came off slip road this morning, where i found it impossible to get any gears. reading these reports, sounds like I’m in for a major shock with a replacement clutch!

Renault Trafic LH1 dci 100 2003

5 star review

You can talk as long as you wish, but this is the best commercial vehicle I have ever drive (this is not just mine suppose) !!!!! Good performance, little consumption, very very comfortable vehicle, you can enjoy in drive like in much expensive vehicles!!!!! There was no bigger problems at all, just drive your Trafic in service regularly to regularly services and there will be no problems, and drive him normally with enjoy!! p.s. try to put chip with 30% more power, and enjoy, it’s less consumption, I have this chip more then 2 years and I’m very pleased! ;-)

Renault Trafic 2003

2 star review

Have had a clutch problem on Trafic van since 36,000 kms (21,000miles). Full clutch kit and slave cylinder changed as i couldn’t select gear because pedal would not travel full distance up. 15000 kms (9000 miles) later, i’m getting clutch slippage in 3rd to 6th gears but not 1st and 2nd gears. Renault Australia are dragging their feet. This is my business as i do carpet & tile/grout cleaning. The dealers themselves have been very helpful, but Renault head office are looking for a way out i feel. Apart from this problem, i love the van, it looks great and is so economical. If they fix this problem i don’t know whether to keep van or not, because if it happens again i just can’t afford to have it off the road again. Renault needs to work on customer service, not just future design, otherwise people will steer away from their products.
