This 2006 Renault has 10 MOT tests on record with a 50% pass rate and 51,038 miles. The vehicle has been off-road for significant periods, and its current MOT status is not valid.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 8,806 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but there are significant gaps in MOT history.

Things to check

  • 5 test failures (lights, suspension, windscreen, steering, brakes) across 10 tests.
  • Recurring suspension ball joint failures (2009-09-10) and brake pad wear (2009-09-10).
  • Tyre advisories escalated to failures (2010-08-25), indicating chronic wear.

  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
