This 2012 Renault has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 18,768 miles. However, a pattern of recurring suspension and lighting failures, combined with a history of electrical and engine issues, warrants careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory shows consistent, normal usage averaging 7,549 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine odometer readings.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, ball joint) in 2019 and 2021 indicate structural neglect.
- Persistent lighting issues (fog lamp, stop lamp) in 2017 and 2022 suggest electrical or wiring problems.
- Major brake lever failure in 2023, following advisories for worn discs and pads in 2025, points to ongoing brake system issues.
- The vehicle has a history of electrical faults and engine issues (head gasket, fuel pump) as reported by owners.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, offering immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (7,549 mi/yr) suggests regular use without long storage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- Recent clean MOT pass in November 2025, with no immediate retest required.
