AI verdict AVOID 35/100

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

This 2007 Renault has 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 21,290 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 19-year-old diesel, presents a critical and unresolvable contradiction.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,764 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,837 miles from Mar 2022 to Mar 2023).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed on 2010-07-13, indicating a critical safety hazard.
  • Recurring Tyres: 12 advisories across 4 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2026) show chronic wear.
  • Recurring Handbrake: 6 advisories across 6 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Mar 2026) indicate a persistent issue.
  • Recurring Wipers: 5 advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2026) show a pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, though very low, shows no signs of tampering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2007 diesel is exceptionally high for its age.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT record.
