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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 42,860 miles. The high mileage for its age, combined with recurring issues, suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,047 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (8 times) and emissions (3 times) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Persistent suspension and steering advisories (6+5) across multiple tests point to chronic wear.
  • Brake system

Working in its favour

  • The most recent MOT (Aug 2015) passed cleanly after addressing the ball joint advisory.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
