AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Renault has 16 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 23,472 miles. The recurring major failures in critical safety systems, combined with a 2021 service gap and no recent passes, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows normal usage averaging 8,806 miles/year, but a significant 270-mile discrepancy on 22 May 2012 suggests a possible odometer fraud or data entry error.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2021-12-30; vehicle is currently not road legal or taxed.
- First MOT failure on 22 May 2012 at 23,472 miles for critical brake and CV joint defects.
- Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (6+), lights (4+), suspension (2+), and windscreen (2+).
- 2021 service gap with no MOT recorded between Dec 2020 and Apr 2022.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,806 miles/year, suggesting regular use.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided MOT history.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars is a positive for safety.
