This 2008 Renault has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 15,959 miles. The single recorded test in 2019 was a failure for windscreen wipers, not a pass.
The single MOT test on 2019-03-09 recorded 77,592 miles, which is unusually low for an 18-year-old vehicle and raises significant mileage integrity concerns.
Things to check
- No MOT history recorded for an 18-year-old vehicle (BV08GCX).
- First MOT test on 2019-03-09 failed for windscreen wipers, not a pass.
- Mileage of 77,592 miles by 2019 is extremely low for its age, suggesting potential fraud.
- Vehicle is currently SORN with no valid MOT, making it illegal to drive on public roads.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
- No recurring failures or advisories are present in the provided MOT history, suggesting a clean record.
- The single MOT test in 2019 was a retest pass after initial failure, showing immediate rectification.
