AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Renault has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 14,906 miles. While it has a long MOT, the vehicle's history suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with low annual usage (5,210 miles/yr) until a significant jump of 29,735 miles occurred between March 2025 and February 2026.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (2014, 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake disc and pad advisories across 3 tests (2018, 2020, 2022) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Recent high mileage jump (29,735 miles in 12 months, Feb 2026) is unusual for a 17-year-old car.
- Three major failures (lights, emissions, tyres) in 12 tests, with 9 passes, suggests reactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety failures.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,210 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
