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

This 2005 Renault has 22 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 10,622 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the unexplained absence of MOT records for 3 years is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (3,935 miles/yr) for its age, with a significant jump in usage before May 2025 (13,023 mi/yr equivalent).

Things to check

  • Critical 21-year MOT history gap: No MOT recorded between 2008-06-27 and 2011-07-15.
  • Dangerous suspension defect recorded on 2018-07-19, though no subsequent failure.
  • Recurring major brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests.
  • Recurring tyre wear advisories on 2018-07-19, 2020-01-10, and 2020-12-17.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-06-04, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies detected in the provided MOT history.
  • No recurring failures of the same system category in the recent MOTs.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2018, showing no suspicious drops.
