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

This 2012 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 42,641 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of issues suggests potential underlying wear and tear.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,377 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage over its 14-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring steering rack advisories (Jul 2020) escalated to major failures (Dec 2020), indicating a chronic issue.
  • Multiple suspension failures (Dec 2015, Dec 2021) and advisories (Dec 2025) point to ongoing structural wear.
  • Consistent lighting failures (Dec 2017, Dec 2020, Dec 2021) suggest a persistent electrical or wiring problem.
  • Brake system advisories (Dec 2017, Dec 2025) and a major efficiency failure (Dec 2017) highlight recurring brake wear.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,377 miles/year, well below UK average, suggests light use.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-15, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, with consistent readings over 14 years.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its time.
