AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Renault has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 18,804 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes its overall condition highly questionable.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 18,804 miles over 8 years, averaging 6,780 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Outer Tyre bulge (Aug 2023) — immediate safety risk.
- Recurring Tyre failures: Multiple tyre advisories and failures across 5 tests (Aug 2023, 2024, 2025).
- Recurring Engine/Oil failures: Two major engine/oil failures (Aug 2023, 2024) — serious underlying issue.
- Recurring Windscreen failures: Three major windscreen failures (Aug 2023, 2024, 2025) — consistent pattern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026 — current roadworthiness certificate.
- Consistent mileage: 18,804 miles over 8 years, well below UK average.
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
- No mileage anomalies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
