This 2005 Renault has 7 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 25,448 miles. While it has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating, the pattern of recurring mechanical issues and a recent advisory for a ball joint requires thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 25,448 miles over 21 years, averaging 11,673 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures: Tyres (2008), Suspension (2008), Brakes (2010), and Lights (2011) indicate systemic neglect.
- Major failure on 2010-09-10 for rear brake pads less than 1.5 mm, with an advisory for front pads wearing thin.
- Major failure on 2011-04-11 for offside front ball joint excessive play, with a recurring advisory for the same component.
- The vehicle is 21 years old with a 2005 registration, significantly impacting its market value and reliability.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) provides strong reassurance on passenger safety.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,673 miles per year, showing no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from 2011, despite its age and recurring failures.
