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

This 2006 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,155 miles. This makes it illegal to drive on public roads and presents a significant safety and legal risk.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,829 miles per year, which is well below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • MOT status: Not valid — no current MOT certificate, illegal to drive.
  • MOT expiry date: None recorded — no valid MOT period, no safety checks.
  • Dangerous defect: Steering wheel movement (May 2019) — safety-critical failure.
  • Recurring advisories: Tyres (4 advisories), Headlamp (2 advisories), Ball Joint (2 advisories) — consistent wear patterns.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety rating for its era.
  • Consistent mileage: Low annual usage (4,829 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • Single major failure: Only one major failure (Oct 2020) for a 20-year-old car.
  • No recent failures: Last MOT failure was in Oct 2020, over 3 years ago.
