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 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 9,171 miles. The provided MOT history is incomplete and contradictory, posing an unacceptable risk.

The vehicle has no recorded MOT tests until March 2019, meaning no mileage data is available for analysis.

Things to check

  • No MOT tests recorded for 18 years (Jan 2008 to Mar 2019) — critical safety and legality gap.
  • First recorded MOT on 2019-03-18 at 39,927 miles is implausibly low for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • Mileage trajectory is entirely unverified due to missing MOT records for 18 years.
  • Repeated major failures for steering and suspension components indicate chronic structural neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • MOT currently valid until 2027-03-23, indicating it is roadworthy as of the last test.
