This 2001 Renault has 5 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 27,110 miles. The mileage is also significantly below average, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.

The vehicle shows a total of 40,402 miles over 6 years, which is approximately 6,167 miles per year, well below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2008-07-19; current status 'Not valid' (Jul 2007) — vehicle is not roadworthy.
  • Major brake failure on 2006-10-02 (31,195 mi) — same-day retest suggests rushed repairs.
  • Major brake failure on 2007-07-20 (40,402 mi) — repeated brake system neglect.
  • Mileage of 40,402 mi is 50% below UK average for a 2001 car (typical: 89,225 mi, n=30 vehicles).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial resolution — owner addressed issues promptly.
  • Consistent annual mileage trajectory (Oct 2005–Jul 2007) — no sudden spikes or drops.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history — all failures were re-tested and passed.
