AI verdict AVOID 33/100

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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,524 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety components and unresolved advisories makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: only 16,524 miles recorded over 17 years, with suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 171 miles in 2022) that does not align with typical UK usage.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 6 failures and 3 dangerous tyre defects (Feb 2023) indicate severe neglect.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Only 16,524 miles recorded over 17 years is highly suspicious and suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • RECURRING ADVISORIES: 8 brake-related advisories across 3 tests (Feb 2022, Feb 2023, Mar 2026)

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until March 2027.
  • Euro NCAP: 5-star safety rating (2017) suggests a generally safe underlying platform.
  • No recent MOT failures: The most recent MOT (Mar 2026) passed after addressing minor issues.
  • Consistent mileage: Once past the initial low usage, the vehicle has maintained consistent annual mileage.
