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

This 2005 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 30,238 miles. The recurring suspension and steering failures, combined with a 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars for a 2005 model, present significant and unexplained discrepancies.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 8,537 miles/year, but a critical 2018-12-2019 test cycle shows a 7,058-mile increase after a 7,058-mile decrease, indicating a clear odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Odometer fraud detected: 7,058-mile decrease on 2019-12-2019, then 7,058-mile increase on 2019-12-2019.
  • Recurring suspension failures: 4 major failures and 2 advisories across 2019 and 2020 tests.
  • Recurring steering failures: 3 major failures and 0 advisories across 2019 and 2020 tests.
  • Recurring brake failures: 2 major failures and 8 advisories across 2019 and 2020 tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • No positive MOT history for this 21-year-old vehicle.
  • No positive service history or consistent maintenance records.
