AI verdict CAUTION 69/100

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

This 2016 Renault has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 28,269 miles. The vehicle's age and consistent low annual mileage are positive, but the owner's maintenance habits warrant careful inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,864 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2019, Jan 2020, Jan 2020) and recent failure (Feb 2026) suggest chronic under-maintenance.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Feb 2026) and previous failure (Feb 2026) point to a pattern of neglect.
  • Offside Front Lower Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (Jan 2020) indicates a significant suspension component was ignored for years.
  • The Feb 2026 MOT failure for brakes and subsequent advisory for the same system (Feb 2026) indicates a reactive, not proactive, approach to maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (10,864 mi/yr), indicating regular use without abuse.
  • Valid MOT until April 2027, providing peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
