This 2008 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 26,245 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-01-11, which is highly irregular and a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 26,245 miles over 18 years, averaging 6,460 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles annually.

Things to check

  • MOT status 'Not valid' with expiry 2025-01-11 is highly irregular for a 2008 vehicle.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (7 times) and suspension (5 times) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Fractured coil spring (MAJOR) on 2024-01-11 and 2025-07-01 shows a recurring structural weakness.
  • Offside Front CV boot split (MAJOR) on 2024-01-11 and 2025-07-01 points to a chronic electrical issue.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
