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

This 2017 Renault has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 32,298 miles. However, a pattern of tyre and brake failures, combined with recurring headlamp issues, indicates a history of reactive maintenance.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 32,298 miles over 9 years, averaging 6,575 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2025): Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm both rear (5.2.3 (e))
  • Dangerous rear brake failure on 2022-03-18, indicating a safety-critical component was neglected.
  • Dangerous offside front tyre failure on 2021-03-11, showing a history of critical wear items being allowed to deteriorate.
  • Recurring headlamp failures on 2021-03-11 and 2022-03-18 suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical fault.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, suggesting light and careful usage.
