This 2005 Renault has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 23,179 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and recurring advisories on critical systems warrant significant caution.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,206 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2013 service gap is concerning.
Things to check
- Steering rack failures on 2010-02-19 and 2012-02-19 indicate a persistent and serious safety issue.
- The 2013 MOT gap suggests the vehicle was off-road or not maintained during a critical period.
- Recurring advisories for tyres (2010, 2010) and brakes (2010, 2015) signal ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
- The vehicle is 21 years old with 83,189 miles, significantly below average usage, which can lead to age-related component wear.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage averaging 8,206 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- No major recurring failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension after initial steering issues.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) provides a high level of safety assurance.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2016-02-25, despite current SORN status.
