AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Renault has 27 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 23,237 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-05-19, which is a major red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,772 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but a significant 19-year gap in MOT history is a major concern.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2026-05-19, indicating a significant lapse in roadworthiness checks.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (3 times), suspension (2 times), and brakes (1 time) across multiple tests.
  • Consistent advisories for suspension arm, shock absorber, and brake system from 2019 to 2025, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Mileage trajectory shows a 19-year gap in MOT history, which is highly unusual and raises serious questions about vehicle maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its time.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 6,772 miles/year, suggesting regular but light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
