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

This 2003 Renault has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 24,753 miles. While it has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating, the vehicle's age and recurring mechanical issues present significant risks.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,794 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring steering failures (2009, 2014) and suspension issues (2008, 2014) indicate chronic mechanical neglect.
  • The 2017 MOT expiry date is past, and the vehicle is currently on SORN, requiring immediate re-registration.
  • A DANGEROUS defect for excessive play in both front track rod end ball joints was recorded in July 2009.
  • The 2008-06-26 MOT advisory for deteriorated rear suspension units is a clear warning of ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,794 miles/year, indicating genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a positive sign.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
