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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 55,299 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,412 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage over its 22-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 5 tests (Aug 2010, Aug 2012, Aug 2013, Aug 2014) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake pad wear advisories in Jul 2009 and Aug 2010, escalating to a major failure in Aug 2014, point to a long-standing issue.
  • Suspension arm rubber bush deterioration noted in Aug 2013 and Aug 2014, suggesting ongoing structural wear.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention and a fresh MOT.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,412 miles/year, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), indicating a strong safety foundation for its era.
  • No evidence of major structural corrosion or hidden damage in the MOT history.
