This 2003 Renault has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 39,612 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently not valid, and it has been on SORN for years, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2006 (39,612 mi) and May 2007 (30,516 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased significantly between May 2006 (39,612 mi) and May 2007 (30,516 mi).
  • Major failures recorded for Tyres (3 times), Brakes (3 times), Emissions (2 times), and Headlamps (3 times).
  • The vehicle has been on SORN since 2017, indicating it is not currently roadworthy or insured.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,282 miles/year, suggesting regular use.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, as the last valid MOT expired in 2017.
