AI verdict CAUTION 60/100

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

This 2006 Renault has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 17,221 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and potential for further costly repairs warrants extreme caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,624 miles per year, with a significant drop to 1,133 miles between March 2017 and March 2018.

Things to check

  • Major head gasket failure (community report) — a critical, expensive repair for a 20-year-old diesel.
  • Fuel pump failure (community report) — another major, costly repair for a 2006 diesel engine.
  • Recurring tyre failures/advisories (Oct 2009, Oct 2014, Oct 2012) — consistent wear pattern indicates poor maintenance.
  • Recurring exhaust failures/advisories (Sep 2015, Mar 2018) — suggests ongoing corrosion or leaks.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2019 (as per DVLA data) — current roadworthiness is confirmed.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,624 mi/yr) — suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories (Mar 2018 retest PASS) — current condition appears stable.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
