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

This 2008 Renault has 25 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 18,298 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (6,207 miles/yr) for its age, with a significant spike in usage from 2018 to 2023, and a subsequent drop in recent years.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres (2 failures, 2018, 2025) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Brakes (1 failure, 2023) — critical safety component.
  • Recurring exhaust issues (7 tests) — persistent wear pattern.
  • Recurring steering rack issues (4 tests) — repeated system failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
