AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Renault has 14 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 30,820 miles. The recurring nature of these issues, coupled with a recent MOT expiry date of 2027-03-29, presents a significant and unquantifiable risk.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,944 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
Things to check
- Multiple recurring failures in brakes (8 major) and suspension (4 major) across 14 MOT tests.
- Recent MOT expiry 2027-03-29 is highly unusual for a 2016 diesel, suggesting a recent re-test.
- High mileage for age (30,820 mi over 10 years) on a 1.5L diesel engine is a significant concern.
- Recurring tyre advisories (7 items) across multiple tests indicate a chronic wear issue.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,944 miles/year, aligning with UK usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-03-29, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
