AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Renault has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 24,159 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories for these components suggest a vehicle that has been neglected in maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,240 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant drop in annual usage from 2020 onwards (7,879 miles in 2021, 4,238 miles in 2023) warrants investigation.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories across 5 tests (Jan 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) indicate chronic neglect.
- Recurring steering rack advisories across 3 tests (Jan 2021, 2022, 2023) point to a systemic issue.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Jan 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023) suggest a pattern of poor maintenance.
- The 2013-01-14 FAILED MOT for a cut tyre, though rectified, shows a history of neglect.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across 5 tests, indicating the vehicle has always passed retests.
- Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 9,240 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars demonstrates a strong safety record for this model.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
