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 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 1,659 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is also 'Not valid' with no current MOT.

The vehicle shows a 22-year gap in recorded mileage (Jan 2004 to Feb 2007) and a 7,000-mile jump in 2017, indicating a high risk of odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage recorded 22 years after first registration (Jan 2004 to Feb 2007) — critical fraud indicator.
  • Mileage jumped 7,000 miles in 2017 after 14 years of extremely low use — strong odometer fraud signal.
  • Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low readings (1,493 mi/yr average) and unexplained gaps — no integrity.
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with no current MOT, making it illegal to drive on public roads.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No MOT failures recorded since 2011, indicating immediate issues were addressed.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for its era.
  • Consistent annual MOT testing since 2007, showing regular vehicle checks.
