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

This 2005 Renault has 7 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 107,798 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with a 2016 expiry date, which is a significant legal and safety concern.

The vehicle shows extremely high annual usage, averaging 20,800 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles. This high mileage, coupled with numerous major failures, indicates substantial wear and tear.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2016-04-16; current status 'Not valid' — illegal to drive on public roads.
  • Mileage trajectory shows 20,800 miles/year average, far exceeding UK norms (8,000/year).
  • Multiple major failures across critical safety systems: lights, brakes, suspension, and windscreen.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar link, exhaust, and handbrake issues indicate systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • No advisories recorded on the most recent MOT tests (2015, 2014, 2013).
