AI verdict AVOID 36/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Renault has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 14,380 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and a significant 2021 service gap further complicate its assessment.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,543 miles per year, with a significant 2021 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings.

Things to check

  • 2021 SERVICE GAP: No MOT recorded for 2021, indicating potential off-road use or neglect.
  • RECURRING SUSPENSION: Anti-roll bar link and ball joint advisories escalated to MAJOR failures in 2025 and 2026.
  • RECURRING BRAKE: Disc wear advisories escalated to MAJOR failures in 2024 and 2026.
  • MAJOR LIGHTING: Windscreen and lights failures in 2015, 2017, and 2026.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage decreases or suspicious round numbers detected in the MOT history.
  • All major failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same day or next day.
  • No recurring failures on the same critical system (e.g., brakes, suspension) for extended periods.
