This 2005 Renault has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 26,959 miles. The low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2017 Euro NCAP rating, raises significant reliability and safety concerns.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 26,959 miles over 21 years, averaging 10,934 miles/year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- 2010-11-26 FAILED: Nearside Brake hose twisted (2.2.D.2b) — a dangerous defect.
- 2010-11-26 FAILED: Nearside Track rod end ball joint excessive play (2.2.B.1f) — a steering failure.
- 2010-11-26 FAILED: Offside Track rod end ball joint excessive play (2.2.B.1f) — a steering failure.
- 2012-01-25 FAILED: Nearside Front Tyre(s) incorrect because different size tyres fitted (4.1.A.1a) — a tyre failure.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over its 21-year lifespan.
- No recurring major failures in the last 3 years since the 2012 MOT.
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2012-01-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
