This 2009 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 17,008 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage of 17,008 miles over 17 years, combined with a 5-year MOT gap, raises significant concerns about its true condition and maintenance.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 17,008 miles over 17 years, with a critical 5-year MOT gap from 2015-2019 and a 2-year period (Aug 2020-Sep 2021) where only 499 miles were recorded, indicating a severe data anomaly or potential fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-09-17, immediately rectified but indicative of systemic neglect.
- Recurring MAJOR failures in steering (2019, 2022, 2025), brakes (2024), and suspension (2025) across multiple tests.
- Critical 5-year MOT gap from 2015-2019 with no recorded tests, raising serious questions about vehicle history.
- Sudden, implausible mileage drop from 48,797 miles (Sep 2019) to 49,296 miles (Aug 2020) — 499 miles over 2 years — a major red flag for odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Current MOT is valid until 2026-09-17, indicating it is roadworthy at present.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest test (Sep 2025).
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), suggesting good inherent safety features.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-09-17, providing immediate peace of mind.
