This 2015 Renault has 15 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 72,643 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with periods of extremely low usage that are not typical for a diesel vehicle.
The mileage shows a significant drop from 120,668 miles in March 2021 to 120,667 miles in March 2021, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 1,057 miles in 2024, 781 miles in 2025).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge on 3mm (Mar 2019).
- DANGEROUS defect: Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin (Mar 2019).
- 6 test failures across 14 MOTs (Mar 2019, Mar 2021, Apr 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024, Aug 2025).
- 5 recurring advisories on the same components (tyres, brakes, suspension, registration plate, wipers).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
