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

This 2012 Renault has 23 MOT tests on record with a 52% pass rate and 61,563 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety and wear items, combined with a recent MOT expiry date of 2026-08-31, presents a significant and unquantifiable risk.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent annual usage, averaging 8,751 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though the most recent test (Aug 2025) shows a very low mileage increase of only 12 miles.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2015-02-12 (61,563 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring major suspension failures (2015, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023) — structural neglect.
  • Recurring major wheel bearing failures (2015, 2018) — recurring mechanical wear.
  • Recurring major anti-roll bar link failures (2018, 2020) — recurring suspension wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
