This 2004 Renault has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 26,625 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in brakes, steering, and suspension requires thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 9,110 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, as evidenced by the steady progression from 26,625 miles in April 2007 to 112,000 miles in April 2016.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013).
  • Recurring suspension/steering failures and advisories (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013).
  • Windscreen advisories noted in 4 separate tests (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010).
  • Major failure for Nearside Front constant velocity joint gaiter in April 2008 and April 2009.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,110 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate as of the last test in April 2016.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
