This 2002 Renault has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 48,465 miles. The vehicle's MOT expired in 2017, and it has been untaxed since, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 48,465 miles over 24 years, averaging only 10,541 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles annually.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2017-02-22; vehicle is currently unroadworthy and uninsurable.
- 8 major failures across critical safety systems (lights, brakes, tyres, suspension) from 2007-06-08 to 2016-02-01.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (7 times), tyres (10 times), and lights (16 times) indicate systemic neglect.
- Mileage of 48,465 miles over 24 years is suspiciously low, averaging only 10,541 miles/year.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
- Consistent annual mileage of 10,541 miles/yr, though suspiciously low, shows regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud; all mileage readings are sequential and plausible.
