This 2001 Renault has 6 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 104,435 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its high mileage and recurring suspension issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.
A critical mileage decrease is evident between 2009-08-06 (129,953 mi) and 2009-10-01 (129,304 mi), suggesting possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Aug 2009 (129,953 mi) and Oct 2009 (129,304 mi) — possible odometer tamper
- Mileage decreased 649 miles between 2009-08-06 (129,953 mi) and 2009-10-01 (129,304 mi).
- Major suspension failures recorded on 2009-08-06 (ball joint, coil springs).
- Major steering failures recorded on 2009-08-06 (track rod end ball joint).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting some issues were addressed at the time.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and potential for parts longevity.
- No recurring electrical or engine failures, which is a positive for a 25-year-old car.
