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

This 2006 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 34,899 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage for its age is a major concern.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Nov 2017 (199 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage to 1,700 miles or less from 2018 onwards, indicating a major discrepancy.

Things to check

  • Recurring major emissions failures (Oct 2019) and advisories (Nov 2018) indicate ongoing engine issues.
  • Persistent steering rack advisories (8 tests) and major failures (Oct 2019) point to chronic suspension problems.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (1,700 miles/yr average) for a 20-year-old vehicle is a major red flag.
  • The Oct 2019 MOT failure for emissions and steering was immediately retested and passed, suggesting borderline repairs.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-07 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to current standards.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory since 2018, despite low annual usage, shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
