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

This 2005 Renault has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 30,131 miles. The vehicle's mileage has been suspiciously low for several years, raising serious questions about its maintenance and usage.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop to 87 miles/year between 2018 and 2024, followed by a sudden increase to 1,827 miles/year in 2024-2025, indicating a clear and unexplained anomaly.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed in Nov 2019 and Nov 2022, indicating chronic neglect of critical safety components.
  • Recurring major failures: Lights failed 7 times, brakes 2 times, steering 2 times, and suspension 1 time, showing systemic neglect.
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage of 87 miles/year between 2018-2024, followed by 1,827 miles/year in 2024-2025, is a major red flag.
  • Exhaust advisories: Recurring advisories for exhaust corrosion across 3 tests (2019, 2020, 2021) suggest severe structural degradation.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOTs, suggesting some recent maintenance.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory before 2018 and after 2025, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
