AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2001 Renault has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 49,582 miles. This pattern, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 25-year-old car, makes it an unassessable and uninsurable purchase.
The MOT history shows a 467,139-mile jump between Mar 2009 (536,150 mi) and Nov 2009 (76,216 mi), followed by a 459,934-mile decrease, indicating severe odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Mar 2009 (536,150 mi) and Nov 2009 (76,216 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased 459,934 miles between Mar 2009 (536,150 mi) and Nov 2009 (76,216 mi) — clear odometer fraud.
- Unusually high mileage jump of 467,139 miles before Mar 2009 (48.4× this car's average) — further odometer fraud.
- MOT expired 2015-12-03; vehicle is currently untaxed and not valid for road use — immediate legal and safety concerns.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 25-year-old vehicle with severe fraud indicators.
