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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 32,366 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring suspension and tyre issues, but these are secondary to the major mechanical faults.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,481 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Unresolved electrical fault (2010–present) — a major safety concern.
  • High-risk head gasket failure — a significant and expensive repair.
  • Fuel pump failure — another major mechanical fault requiring attention.
  • Gearbox and clutch issues — multiple advisories and failures across tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over 14 years.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • MOT valid until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
