2020 Renault Trafic score: good reliability
Calculated using only 1 documented fault and its sources: the most serious and frequent faults weigh more. One of this car's engines has no documented faults in the versions it uses, but there aren't enough sources to call it reliable either, so it doesn't count towards the engine score.

- With caution
1.6 dCi for vans (95, 115, 125 and 145 hp, Trafic III/Vivaro B/Talento, 2014-2020)
95–145 hp · R9M
It shares its block, turbo and injectors with the car versions of the same period, so similar weak points (turbo, EGR, DPF) are to be expected, although we have found no van-specific reliability reports to confirm it.[1]
There are no documented 1.6 dCi faults that affect 2020 cars.
