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

This 2011 Renault has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 11,451 miles. The vehicle's age, mileage, and persistent issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,654 miles/year, but a significant 15-year gap in MOT testing from 2014-2018 is a major red flag for unverified condition.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failures recorded in Aug 2018, Aug 2020, and Oct 2025 — 4 separate instances.
  • Recurring major failures in steering (3 times), suspension (2 times), and engine/oil (1 time) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent advisories for worn tyres (4 times), corroded suspension arms (3 times), and worn coil springs (3 times) — indicates chronic neglect.
  • The 15-year gap in MOT testing from 2014-2018 is a critical unverified period for safety and maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety design.
