AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2011 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 25,218 miles. This fundamental discrepancy makes the vehicle's provenance and roadworthiness unverifiable.

The MOT history shows a critical 3-year gap (Jan 2011–Jan 2014) with no recorded mileage, followed by a single 2014-01-23 test at 25,218 miles, which is highly suspicious for a 2011 vehicle.

Things to check

  • Critical 3-year MOT gap: No mileage recorded between Jan 2011 registration and Jan 2014 first MOT.
  • Mileage anomaly: 2014-01-23 test shows 25,218 miles, but vehicle was registered Jan 2011.
  • Unverifiable history: The 3-year MOT gap makes the vehicle's provenance and roadworthiness completely unverifiable.
  • High-risk electrical faults: Community-reported electrical issues since 2010 pose a high risk of costly repairs.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-04: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate.
  • No recent MOT failures: The most recent MOT (Apr 2026) passed after addressing a subframe advisory.
  • Consistent mileage: Mileage trajectory shows normal usage averaging 6,874 miles/year since 2011.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety: The vehicle boasts a strong 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017.
