AI verdict CAUTION 47/100

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

This 2004 Renault has 30 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 17,406 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and recent tyre advisories warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage averaging 4,518 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 3,169 miles between Jan 2024 and Jan 2025).

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (coil spring, strut, ball joint) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent DANGEROUS tyre defects (Jan 2020, Jan 2021, Jan 2025) and recurring advisories.
  • Emissions advisories are recurring across three separate MOT tests (Jan 2019, Jan 2020, Jan 2021).
  • Recent tyre advisories (Jan 2025) indicate immediate replacement costs are likely.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,518 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects since the last MOT pass in Jan 2026.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
