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 6 MOT tests on record with a 50% pass rate and 48,912 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2015-03-02, which is a critical legal and safety concern.
The vehicle shows consistent, though high, annual mileage averaging 14,100 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but this high usage is a significant wear factor.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2015-03-02 — legally unroadworthy and a major safety concern.
- Recurring major failures across lights (7), tyres (3), windscreen (2), brakes (9), and suspension (1) — systemic neglect of safety systems.
- High annual mileage (14,100 mi/yr) for a 17-year-old car indicates heavy use and accelerated wear on safety-critical components.
- Brake disc advisory from Feb 2014 is still unresolved and a safety concern.
Working in its favour
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
- Consistent retesting and immediate repair of failures after initial MOTs.
- No recurring failures on the same critical system (e.g., no repeated engine failures).
- The 2017 Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for a 2009 Renault 5 E-Tech is a positive for safety.
