AI verdict AVOID 47/100

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

This 2010 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 18,796 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and untaxed status, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, present a critical contradiction that makes it an unadvisable purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,884 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,119 miles between May 2022 and May 2023).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2018-06-28 and 2021-04-30 indicate severe neglect.
  • Recurring MAJOR failures for steering rack (2021-04-30 advisory, 2023-05-25 failure) and brakes (2020-07-31 advisory, 2023-05-25 failure) point to systemic structural issues.
  • The 2015-06-19 FAILED MOT for horn and track rod end ball joints, followed by a 2015-06-25 PASS, suggests rushed repairs.
  • The 2025-05-14 FAILED MOT for headlamp and tyres, followed by a 2025-05-15 PASS, shows a pattern of borderline passes.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety foundation for its era.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory suggests a single owner or careful use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
