AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Renault has 19 MOT tests on record with a 53% pass rate and 19,561 miles. The vehicle's MOT status has been 'Not valid' since 2017, and it currently holds a SORN status, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,218 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes detected.

Things to check

  • MOT status 'Not valid' since 2017-12-12, indicating it has been off-road for years.
  • 9 test failures and 10 passes over 19 tests (2004-2016) reveal a persistent, systemic neglect of critical safety systems.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (7 times), steering (5 times), tyres (4 times), brakes (3 times), windscreen (2 times), and suspension (2 times) point to chronic structural and mechanical issues.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) since 2017, meaning it is not currently insured or taxed for road use.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 6,218 miles/year, indicating no odometer fraud.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a strong safety foundation for its era.
  • The vehicle has a long, documented MOT history, providing full transparency into its past condition and failures.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
