This 2018 Renault has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 35,329 miles. The vehicle's mileage has been suspiciously low for several years, raising questions about its usage and maintenance.

Mileage was suspiciously low (607 mi/yr equivalent) from registration in Jan 2018 to Apr 2023, but has since returned to normal usage.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake pad failure on 2023-04-11 (44,466 mi), indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Apr 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023) and failures (Apr 2023) signal a systemic issue.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (607 mi/yr equivalent) from 2018 to 2023 suggests periods of inactivity or poor maintenance.
  • Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint boot split (Apr 2023) is a minor but unaddressed advisory.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-11, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • No major structural corrosion or suspension failures are evident in the MOT history.
