AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2004 Renault has 23 MOT tests on record with a 52% pass rate and 24,304 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, and the car's age presents significant wear and tear risks.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (654 mi/yr equivalent) before Jul 2017, followed by a 24,304-mile reading in Feb 2007, and then a 43,151-mile reading in Jun 2008, indicating a major data anomaly.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2008-06-25 (test failed).
- Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with implausibly low readings before Jul 2017.
- No valid MOT certificate since 2008, and currently on SORN status.
- Recurring brake and suspension advisories from 2009-06-10 test.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories
