As a master tech mechanic with over 15 years of experience, I have encountered a range of issues with the starter motor particularly in models like the Renault Trafic (2014 to present). This crucial component plays a pivotal role in your van's ability to start effectively, and when problems arise, it can be a source of frustration and unplanned downtime.
The initial signs of a failing starter motor can be subtle. You may notice that your van struggles to start, or there may be a clicking noise when turning the key in the ignition. In more severe cases, the starter might not engage at all, leaving you unable to start your Renault Trafic. Such symptoms typically point towards either an electrical issue or a mechanical fault within the starter system.
Several factors could lead to starter motor failure in your Renault Trafic (2014 to present). A common culprit is wear and tear on the starter motor components, which is inevitable over time. Electrical connections may also become corroded or loose, disrupting the current flow needed to operate the motor effectively. Additionally, a malfunctioning ignition switch or a depleted battery could mimic starter motor failure, complicating diagnostics.
The repair process typically begins with a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. This might involve checking the battery's health, assessing all electrical connections, and testing the starter motor's integrity. If the starter motor is indeed the problem, replacement is often the most reliable solution. This involves removing the faulty unit and installing a new one, ensuring all connections are secure and functional.
Dealing with recurring mechanical issues can be costly and time-consuming. Have you considered selling your Renault Trafic?

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.
