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 22 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 37,293 miles. The single 2019 MOT pass followed a 2013 failure, with no valid MOT status now.

The vehicle shows 37,293 miles at its most recent MOT in Jan 2019, but a critical 2013 MOT retest shows a 84,146-mile decrease from 77,927 miles in Jun 2012 to 0 miles in May 2013, indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jun 2012 (77,927 mi) and May 2013 (0 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Mileage decreased from 77,927 miles (Jun 2012) to 0 miles (May 2013) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Only 1 MOT test recorded in 22 years (Jan 2019) with no valid MOT status now — critical for safety.
  • First MOT test failed on 31 May 2013 with no subsequent valid MOT until 2007-05-23 — 4-year gap.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good safety features for its age.
  • Renault 5 models are generally known for their reliability and simplicity, which can be a positive if properly maintained.
