This 2002 Renault has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 39,917 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear suggests potential neglect and future costs.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2008 (11 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Mar 2008 (11 mi/yr equivalent).
- Recurring Tyres: 11 advisories across 3 tests (Mar 2009, Mar 2010, Mar 2016) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring Brakes: 5 advisories across 3 tests (Mar 2016, Apr 2017, Apr 2018) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Recurring Lights: 3 major failures and 2 advisories (Oct 2006, Oct 2006, Oct 2007) point to electrical issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- Consistent Mileage: Normal usage of 8,985 miles/year after Mar 2008, aligning with UK average.
- No Recent Major Failures: The last MOT failure was in April 2018, and the car has been passed since.
- Long Service Life: The vehicle has been on the road for over 24 years, demonstrating durability.
