This 2008 Renault has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 14,889 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension and CV boot issues, coupled with a history of dangerous defects, raises serious concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,165 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, arms) across multiple tests (Feb 2020, 2021, 2024, 2026).
- Persistent CV boot issues (Feb 2020, 2021, 2024, 2026) suggest chronic electrical gremlins.
- Dangerous defects recorded in Feb 2026 (worn brake disc, 3mm tyres, damaged rear tyre).
- Multiple major failures for lights (Feb 2020, 2021, 2024, 2026) and stop lamps (Feb 2026).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,165 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
