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

This 2011 Renault has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,413 miles. The extremely low mileage of 16,413 miles over 15 years, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2017 model, presents a critical data inconsistency.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,457 miles/year, averaging only 16,413 miles over 15 years, which is highly unusual for a 2011 vehicle.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 5 failures and 18 advisories across 13 tests, indicating persistent mechanical issues.
  • MILEAGE: Only 16,413 miles recorded in 15 years, a significant anomaly for a 2011 vehicle.
  • RECURRING ISSUES: Tyres, brakes, and suspension components show repeated advisories and failures.
  • ENGINE/OIL: Major failure recorded in 2015-12-14 test for engine/oil issues.

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID: Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-12-13, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • ELECTRIC VEHICLE: Renault 5 E-Tech is a rare electric vehicle from 2011, offering low running costs.
  • MILEAGE: Consistent low annual mileage of 5,457 miles/year suggests light use.
  • MOT EXPIRY: MOT expiry date of 2026-12-13 provides significant peace of mind for the next two years.
