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

This 2016 Renault has 14 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 24,428 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the underlying mechanical problems and owner neglect make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 7,026 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is overshadowed by the severe and recurring mechanical failures.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-03-27 (rear pads) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring major engine MIL failures in 2021-03-29 and 2025-04-01 indicate persistent engine issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
