This 2001 Renault has 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 46,824 miles. While it has a valid MOT now, the pattern of neglect and potential underlying issues warrants extreme caution.
The mileage trajectory shows a normal average of 8,033 miles/year until Apr 2008, but a critical 29,809-mile decrease occurred between the Apr 2008 failure and retest, followed by a 38,709-mile jump in the same year.
Things to check
- Apr 2008: 29,809-mile mileage decrease between retest pair is a major red flag for odometer fraud.
- Apr 2008: 38,709-mile jump immediately after mileage anomaly suggests a possible odometer reset.
- Apr 2008: Failed MOT for suspension and wheel bearing issues, then passed with advisories.
- Apr 2008: Passed MOT with advisories on steering rack, anti-roll bar, and coil springs.
Working in its favour
- Passed 5 of 9 MOT tests, indicating some repairs were made.
- Current MOT valid until July 2010, providing immediate roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner maintained it.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
