This 2013 Renault has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 65,341 miles. While it has a long MOT, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems is a significant red flag.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 15,236 miles per year, with a notable 301-mile increase between Sep 2019 and Oct 2019, indicating consistent but heavy driving.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-12-01 after ADVISORY on 2018-09-27, indicating systemic neglect.
- Major suspension failure on 2018-09-27 after ADVISORY on 2017-02-21, showing a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- High mileage (186,141 miles) for a 2013 vehicle, significantly above average, leading to accelerated wear.
- Brake disc wear advisories in 2019, 2020, and 2025, and suspension advisories in 2017 and 2018, all point to a history of reactive repairs.
Working in its favour
- Long MOT history with a recent pass on 2025-03-17, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and potential for good fuel economy.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT data.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) provides a strong safety foundation for this model.
