AI verdict AVOID 50/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 12,175 miles. This fundamental contradiction, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2017 model, makes the vehicle's legal status and safety history unverifiable.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,054 miles/year, but a significant mileage drop from 94,594 miles in July 2020 to 99,457 miles in March 2021 is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • MOT status 'Not valid' with 2026 expiry for a 2009 vehicle — £1000-£5000 deduction for legal uncertainty.
  • Mileage drop from 94,594 miles (Jul 2020) to 99,457 miles (Mar 2021) — £500-£1000 deduction for odometer fraud risk.
  • Recurring major suspension failures and brake disc advisories — £400-£800 deduction for immediate repair costs.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2009 Renault 5 E-Tech is a critical discrepancy.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history or mileage trajectory for this 2009 Renault 5 E-Tech.
