AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Renault has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 32,584 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with periods of extremely low usage that are not typical for a 24-year-old vehicle.
The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low usage before Jan 2011 (741 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Nov 2011 (209 mi/yr equivalent), which is not typical for a 24-year-old vehicle.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 5 failures and 7 passes over 12 tests (2002-2014) indicates persistent, recurring mechanical issues.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Jan 2011 (741 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Nov 2011 (209 mi/yr equivalent).
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: A significant 2-year gap (2012) with no recorded MOT tests, suggesting potential SORN or off-road use.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: A 2-year period (2011-2013) shows extremely low annual mileage (180 mi/yr equivalent), which is highly unusual.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
