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

This 2006 Renault has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 26,446 miles. The recurring major failures and dangerous brake defect make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage at 9,986 miles/year, with a significant spike to 131,157 miles by Feb 2019, then only 2,000 miles in the subsequent 14 days, indicating a clear odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2020-02-17, indicating it has been off-road for years.
  • Dangerous brake failure recorded on 2019-02-19, a critical safety defect.
  • Recurring major failures in steering (2019-02-19) and lights (2019-02-19).
  • Odometer fraud evident from 131,157 miles on 2019-02-19, then only 2,000 miles in 14 days.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 9,986 miles/year after the initial spike.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the 2019-02-19 test.
