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

This 2007 Renault has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 9,186 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a DANGEROUS steering defect, raises significant concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,861 miles per year, with a 19-year gap from registration to its first MOT in 2010.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS steering defect (steering rack excessive free play) recorded on 2020-09-11.
  • Recurring major failures on lights (4 tests) and engine oil (5 tests) across 2018-2020.
  • Recurring brake system advisories (10 items) from 2013-2020, including worn discs in Sep 2018.
  • Major failure for windscreen on 2020-09-11, with no subsequent advisory.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2020-09-11, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since first MOT in 2010, despite being very low.
