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 60% pass rate and 25,187 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2015-06-17, which is a critical red flag.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 573 miles/year equivalent before May 2011, followed by normal usage, indicating potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2015-06-17; current status 'Not valid' — no active MOT.
  • 6 major light failures (Feb 2007, Feb 2009, Jan 2010, May 2013, May 2014) — persistent electrical issues.
  • 3 major suspension failures (Feb 2007, Jan 2009, Jan 2010) — recurring structural wear.
  • Mileage anomaly: 573 miles/year equivalent before May 2011 — potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2011 (7,431 miles/yr) — no recent neglect.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories (last test May 2014) — immediate issues appear resolved.
  • The vehicle has a 23-year history with 15 MOT tests, showing a mix of failures and passes.
