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

This 2009 Renault has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 17,599 miles. While many advisories were addressed, the repeated nature of these faults suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,595 miles per year, with a significant spike of 16,253 miles between Feb 2024 and Oct 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring steering issues: track rod end ball joint excessive play (Feb 2020, Jan 2022, Feb 2023).
  • Recurring tyre wear: multiple advisories and one major failure (Feb 2023, Feb 2024, Feb 2025).
  • Recurring brake disc wear: advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2024).
  • Recurring CV boot issues: advisories in 3 separate tests (Jan 2022, Feb 2023, Feb 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing owner responsiveness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2009 model is excellent.
