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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 24,136 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the pattern of wear suggests a high-maintenance vehicle.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage (7,215 miles/yr), averaging 8,000 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, track rod) from 2009 to 2012 indicate chronic neglect.
  • Major failure for Offside Front Track rod end ball joint on 2011-03-29, a critical safety component.
  • Major failure for Offside Rear coil spring on 2012-03-29, another suspension component.
  • Major failure for Offside Rear coil spring on 2014-01-25, same location as 2012.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
