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 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 71,648 miles. The presence of dangerous tyre defects and a major brake failure in its limited MOT record makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 107,652 miles in Feb 2014, but only 29,889 miles in Feb 2019, with a significant decrease to 4,011 miles in Feb 2015, indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2014 (107,652 mi) and Feb 2015 (4,011 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • No valid MOT certificate since 2020-03-05, making it illegal to drive on public roads.
  • Mileage decreased from 107,652 miles (Feb 2014) to 4,011 miles (Feb 2015), a clear odometer fraud indicator.
  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2008-05-21 (71,648 mi) and 2010-05-29 (76,942 mi), indicating severe neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle for its era.
  • No recurring failures of the same system are present in the MOT history, suggesting isolated issues.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage pattern, showing no sudden spikes or drops after the initial anomaly.
  • The car has a long service interval of 12,000 miles, which is beneficial for long-term reliability.
