This 2008 Renault has 7 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 26,260 miles. The recurring tyre advisories also indicate a history of wear and tear.

The vehicle shows a severe mileage anomaly: 26,260 miles over 18 years (May 2011 to Sep 2017), which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year and suggests possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 26,260 miles over 18 years (May 2011 to Sep 2017).
  • Vehicle is untaxed and has a 'Not valid' MOT status as of the analysis date.
  • Potential head gasket failure (common Renault 5 issue): £800-£1500.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
  • No MOT failures recorded across 7 tests, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a high level of safety for its age.
  • Consistent retest passes with no dangerous defects
