The vehicle shows normal usage with 30,801 miles over 21 years, averaging 8,972 miles/year, which is consistent with UK driving.
Things to check
- 2005 Head gasket recall: This 21-year-old Renault 5 has a known head gasket issue, a major structural weakness.
- 2009 Service gap: A 2009 MOT gap suggests a period of unverified maintenance or potential off-road status.
- May 2008 MOT failure: The initial MOT failure for headlamp aim, though rectified, indicates early wear.
- May 2010 MOT advisory: Rear brake pads wearing thin (Dec 2008) were noted but not re-tested, suggesting a lack of follow-up.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage: The vehicle has normal, consistent mileage for its age, averaging 8,972 miles/year.
- No recurring failures: The single 2008 MOT failure for headlamp aim was immediately rectified, showing responsible ownership.
- Recent clean MOT: The most recent MOT pass in June 2011 indicates the vehicle was roadworthy at that time.
- Euro NCAP rating: The vehicle holds a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good safety features for its era.
