This 2003 Renault has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 32,868 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues and low mileage raise significant concerns for a buyer.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2013 (90 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant increase in annual usage, indicating inconsistent usage patterns.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (4 times) and tyres (3 times) across 2007-2017 MOTs.
  • Recurring advisories for brake system (7 times) and steering (3 times) from 2007-2017.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before April 2013 (90 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Major failure for Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b) on 2008-06-10.

Working in its favour

  • Passed 10 of 12 MOT tests, indicating some periods of good maintenance.
  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases after 2013, showing no recent neglect.
  • Valid MOT until April 2018, providing immediate roadworthiness assurance.
