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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 28,481 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of issues suggests ongoing maintenance needs and potential structural wear.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,263 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the 2019-06-15 retest shows a 215-mile increase, which is unusually low.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories (e.g., Nov 2020, Nov 2021) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring lighting failures and advisories (e.g., Nov 2021, Oct 2022) suggest electrical or structural issues.
  • Engine/Oil advisory on 2022-10-26 is a critical safety item for a 17-year-old vehicle.
  • Brake pad wear advisory on 2021-11-01 is a recurring issue, indicating a need for ongoing maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,263 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2023-11-09, despite the current 'Not valid' status.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
