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

This 2008 Renault has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 23,163 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,564 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2024-10-10, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests.
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories throughout its MOT history.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage for its age.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-10, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
