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 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 12,799 miles. However, a pattern of recurring tyre and brake advisories, coupled with a history of electrical and mechanical faults, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,802 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 14-year history.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Jul 2023, Aug 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring brake pad advisories across 4 tests (Jul 2022, Jul 2023, Jul 2024) suggest a need for regular replacement.
- Dangerous tyre defect recorded in Mar 2020 (test 29,780 mi) highlights past safety concerns.
- Community-reported high-risk faults: head gasket, fuel pump, electrical issues (not verified by MOT).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-27, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,802 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in the MOT history.
