This 2004 Renault has 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 26,665 miles. The most critical issue is a massive mileage decrease of 62,764 miles between July 2014 and July 2015, indicating potential odometer tampering.

A critical mileage anomaly exists: 73,479 miles (Jul 2014) decreased to 10,715 miles (Jul 2015), a 62,764-mile drop, strongly suggesting odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jul 2014 (73,479 mi) and Jul 2015 (10,715 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased 62,764 miles between Jul 2014 (73,479 mi) and Jul 2015 (10,715 mi) — potential odometer fraud.
  • Dangerous Nearside Front Anti-lock braking system component excessively damaged (3.4.2) — safety-critical failure.
  • Windscreen failed 4 times (Jun 2011, Jun 2012, Jun 2013, Jul 2014) — persistent structural weakness.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe, modern design.
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2007 (Dec 2007: 26,665 mi) — no fraud signals then.
  • No recent MOT failures (last test Sep 2016) — owner has maintained basic roadworthiness.
  • No mileage spikes after 2015 (consistent 1,652 mi/yr average) — no recent fraud.
