AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Renault has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 15,541 miles. While mileage is consistent, recurring tyre and brake advisories, combined with a 2014 MOT expiry, present significant risks.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 10,480 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 23-year gap in MOT records is a major concern.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2014-10-16; no valid MOT certificate is currently in force.
- Three test failures (2009, 2010, 2013) for suspension and brakes, despite subsequent passes.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2007, 2013) and brake pad advisories (2009, 2011) indicate ongoing wear.
- The 23-year gap in MOT records (2003 registration to 2006 first MOT) is highly unusual and a major red flag.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,480 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), suggesting good inherent safety features.
