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

This 2004 Renault has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 24,155 miles. The low mileage for its age, combined with a 22-year-old vehicle, presents significant long-term risks.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,858 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, track rod end) and advisories (Jan 2013, Dec 2013).
  • Recurring steering rack gaiter split (Feb 2011, Jan 2013) and anti-roll bar linkage fractured (Jan 2013).
  • Recurring tyre wear (Mar 2009 advisory, Feb 2011 failure, Dec 2013 advisory).
  • Recurring brake pad and disc wear (Jan 2013 advisories, Dec 2013 advisories).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
