This 2012 Renault has 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 5,172 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage anomaly make it an unquantifiable risk.
The MOT history shows a 14-year gap in recorded mileage (Jan 2012 to Jul 2018) and a 179,298-mile discrepancy between Apr 2017 (199,134 mi) and Feb 2018 (33,157 mi), indicating potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Apr 2017 (199,134 mi) and Feb 2018 (33,157 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased from 199,134 mi (Apr 2017) to 33,157 mi (Feb 2018) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Unusually large mileage difference (179,298 mi) between retest pair on 18 Apr 2017 / 21 Apr 2017 — further fraud evidence.
- MOT history shows a 14-year gap in recorded mileage (Jan 2012 to Jul 2018) — critical data anomaly.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
- Consistent annual mileage of ~6,400 miles since 2018, despite the mileage anomalies.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current basic roadworthiness.
