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

This 2005 Renault has 15 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 58,971 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2017-09-20, indicating it has been off-road for over 6 years.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 10,212 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.

Things to check

  • Six major MOT failures recorded across critical safety systems (lights, steering, suspension, tyres, emissions).
  • Persistent advisories on brakes, tyres, and headlamps across multiple tests, indicating chronic neglect.
  • The vehicle has been off-road since 2017, with no valid MOT and an untaxed status.
  • Recurring failures in the same system (e.g., tyres, brakes, headlamps) suggest systemic, not isolated, issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies, averaging 10,212 miles per year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
