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

This 2002 Renault has 25 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 46,830 miles. The very low mileage recorded over its lifetime is also a significant concern.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 3,079 miles/year, with suspiciously low readings of 209 miles/yr (Sep 2020), 140 miles/yr (Sep 2021), and 219 miles/yr (Aug 2022).

Things to check

  • Jul 2025 MOT failure: Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split.
  • Recurring advisories: Tyres (Aug 2024, Jul 2025) and brakes (Jul 2025) show consistent wear.
  • Very low mileage: Average of 3,079 miles/year, with suspiciously low readings in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
  • Head gasket and fuel pump issues: Community-reported faults for this model are a major concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 08/10/2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in its history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures and advisories.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good safety features.
