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

This 2012 Renault has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 119,434 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high annual usage and repeated advisories for critical safety components warrant significant caution.

The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 13,688 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2018 to 2021 (from 139k to 161k miles), but consistent increases since.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure (pads) on 2015-05-22 and 2019-05-22 tests.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Major suspension failures (Nov 2021, 2020) and insecure exhaust (Nov 2021) show structural neglect.
  • High annual mileage (13,688 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) suggests more wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until
