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

This 2012 Renault has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 46,000 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and unresolved issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,710 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has significantly decreased since 2024.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2025): Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its str
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-04-20, indicating severe neglect.
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2025-04-20, showing a pattern of critical wear.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2023-04-20, 2025-04-20).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • MOT valid until 2027-04-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories (last test passed 2026-04-21).
