Renault Master with a body by Tensa: four-cylinder engine producing 125 kW, 3,500 kg maximum gross weight, 4.33 m wheelbase and a top speed of 161 km/h
The basis of this vehicle is the Renault Master, a light commercial vehicle from the French manufacturer Renault, built for many years as a panel van, dropside and bare chassis for conversions. The register lists not Renault itself as the brand, but the body builder Tensa, who fitted the chassis with its own body. The recorded registrations span 2019 to 2021.

The engine has four cylinders and produces 125 kW. With a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg and an unladen weight of 2,546 kg, the payload comes to around 954 kg. Length is 6.77 m, wheelbase 4.33 m and width 2.35 m, with a top speed of 161 km/h. At 125 kW, the engine is clearly stronger than a plain panel van of this weight class usually needs, which can point to extra weight or auxiliary equipment carried in the body.
At a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg, the vehicle falls into EU class N1 and can be driven in most European countries on a category B licence. Vehicles in this class are subject to the rules for light commercial vehicles rather than the stricter requirements for trucks above 3.5 t. The strong engine paired with a comparatively short 6.77 m body suggests a vehicle meant to keep up decent performance even fully loaded.
Buying a used example like this means checking two separate areas: the chassis with its engine, gearbox and brakes as on any Master, and Tensa's own body with its own wiring, seals and frame mounting. Given the strong engine, it is also worth checking the clutch and drivetrain for wear, along with corrosion where chassis and body meet and the condition of the brakes.
