This 2008 Renault has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 23,268 miles. The vehicle also shows a significant mileage discrepancy and a long period of unrecorded MOTs.
The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage (11,788 mi/yr) but a significant anomaly: 23,268 miles in 18 years (Jan 2008) followed by a 25,663-mile jump in just 2 years (Sep 2011), then a 24,200-mile jump in 1 year (Jul 2014).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (2011, 2014) indicate chronic wear issues.
- Recurring brake advisories (2011, 2014) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Headlamp aim failure (Jan 2013) points to past electrical or alignment issues.
- Significant mileage discrepancy (23,268 mi in 18 years, then 24,200 mi in 1 year) is a major red flag.
Working in its favour
- Recent MOT pass (Apr 2016) shows the vehicle was roadworthy at that time.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage (11,788 mi/yr) once the initial gap was resolved.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle.
