This 2002 Renault has 6 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 45,592 miles. The low mileage for its age, combined with a 24-year-old vehicle, raises significant reliability and wear concerns.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 45,592 miles over 24 years, averaging 10,502 miles/year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (ball joint, track rod, trailing arm) in 2006 and 2008 indicate chronic neglect.
- Brake system failures (pads, track rod) in 2006 and 2008 point to a pattern of poor maintenance.
- The 2008-01-07 test shows a brake pad advisory, which was a failure in 2006, suggesting a recurring issue.
- The vehicle is 24 years old with low mileage, which can lead to accelerated wear on components.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a current, clean MOT certificate from December 2008, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories are present, suggesting the owner has addressed current issues.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) provides a high level of safety assurance for a 2002 model.
