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
