AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Renault has 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 42,349 miles. While mileage is consistent, the recurring major failures and advisories on critical safety systems like brakes and lights, combined with a 2013 MOT expiry, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,760 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops, but the 2009 service gap is a concern.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2013-02-25; vehicle is currently not valid for road use.
- Major failures recorded for lights (5 times) and brakes (3 times) across multiple tests.
- Recurring advisories for brake discs (Dec 2008) and pads (Dec 2008, Feb 2011) indicate chronic wear.
- Service gap from 2009–2013 suggests periods of inactivity or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,760 miles/year.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is a positive for safety.
