As an experienced UK-based master technician specialising in commercial vehicles, I've encountered numerous cases involving the starter motor of the Renault Master vans from 2010 onwards. If you own one of these vans, recognizing the early signs of starter motor issues can save you from unexpected downtimes and costly repairs.
The first indicator that your Renault Master's starter motor may be failing is typically trouble with the ignition. You might notice that the engine doesn't turn over despite the battery being fully charged, or there's a clicking sound but no engine activity. Other symptoms include intermittent functionality when starting the engine, or a whining noise upon trying to start. These signs should prompt a more thorough inspection.
Several factors can contribute to the malfunctioning of your Renault Master's starter motor. It could be due to wear and tear from prolonged use or a faulty electrical connection that disrupts the current flow. Sometimes, issues stem from a damaged pinion gear, which fails to engage the engine correctly. Keeping an eye on these potential culprits can help in diagnosing the problem early.
Addressing issues with the starter motor generally involves a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact cause of the failure. If the starter motor is confirmed to be defective, it usually needs to be replaced. This process can involve removing the old motor, installing a new one, and ensuring that all connections are secure. Given the complexity and the necessity for precise handling, such repairs should ideally be carried out by a professional mechanic with experience in commercial vehicles.
Dealing with recurring mechanical problems can be both frustrating and expensive. If you're facing ongoing issues with your Renault Master's starter motor, have you considered selling your van? Vandervan offers a straightforward process where you can get a quote in seconds and enjoy next-day collection from anywhere in the UK. It might be more cost-effective and convenient to sell your van and upgrade to a newer model. Moreover, you'll avoid the hassle of future repairs and downtime—a significant consideration if your vehicle is pivotal to your business operations.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.

We buy any van make or model, and any body type. Get a valuation today and see if we can help you sell your van.
Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
