AI verdict CAUTION 53/100

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

This 2003 Renault has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 92,615 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the vehicle's age and recurring issues warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,849 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a 28-mile decrease in July 2014 is a minor anomaly.

Things to check

  • Not valid MOT since 2019-03-08, indicating it has been off-road for 4+ years.
  • Six test failures and five major defects across critical systems (suspension, lights, windscreen, brakes) from 2006-07-27.
  • Recurring headlamp aim failures (2006-07-27, 2017-06-12, 2018-03-01) and suspension arm play (2006-07-27, 2017-06-12) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake system advisories (2008-05-19) and wheel bearing play (2008-05-19) suggest broader wear and tear.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,849 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its era.
  • The vehicle has a long, consistent service history, with no major gaps in MOT testing.
