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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 20,075 miles. The mileage is extremely low for its age, raising significant concerns about its true condition and maintenance.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,338 miles per year, with a significant 17-year gap from 2009 to 2019 and a further 6-year gap from 2023 to 2024.

Things to check

  • Extremely low mileage for a 2009 vehicle (20,075 mi over 17 years) suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (8 times), suspension (3 times), and brakes (2 times) indicate systemic neglect.
  • The 2019-2024 MOT gap is highly suspicious, suggesting the vehicle was not used or maintained during this period.
  • Multiple recurring advisories on tyres (5 times) and ball joints (4 times) point to chronic wear and poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until June 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety features.
