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 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,268 miles. This fundamental discrepancy makes the vehicle's legality and roadworthiness unverifiable.
No mileage analysis is possible due to the complete absence of MOT test records for the first 3 years of the vehicle's life.
Things to check
- Complete absence of MOT test records from 2008 to 2011 — critical data gap.
- Mileage significantly below UK average (2,931 mi/yr vs 8,000 mi/yr) — high fraud risk.
- No recorded MOT tests for 18 years (2008–2011) — direct contradiction with DVLA data.
- First MOT recorded in 2011 at 16,268 miles — no prior history, no checks.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — strong safety features for this model.
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-18 — current roadworthiness certification is present.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories — the most recent test (Jan 2026) was a pass.
- No recorded MOT failures for the last 3 years (Jan 2023–Jan 2026) — recent clean record.
