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

This 2002 Renault has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 20,097 miles. The vehicle has been off-road since 2015, with a 24-year-old car showing extremely low mileage and a dangerous brake defect from 2006.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,577 miles/year, with a significant 2015 MOT gap and a 24-year-old car that has only covered 20,097 miles.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake defect (worn discs) recorded on 2006-01-06, never fully resolved.
  • Recurring major failures in tyres (5 times), suspension (4 times), and brakes (4 times).
  • Six test failures across 17 MOTs, indicating persistent and recurring mechanical issues.
  • The 2015 MOT gap suggests the vehicle was off-road for an extended period, raising questions about its maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner and light usage.
  • No recent MOT failures, as the vehicle has been off-road since 2015.
