AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Renault has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 25,066 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the unexplained absence of MOT records for two years is a significant red flag.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (354 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2021, followed by normal usage, but the 2013-2014 MOT gap prevents verification of actual usage during that period.
Things to check
- Critical 2013–2014 MOT gap — no records for 2 years (Mar 2013–Mar 2014).
- Suspiciously low mileage before Feb 2021 (354 mi/yr equivalent) — potential odometer fraud.
- Recurring brake system failures (4 major) and suspension/steering issues (6+ failures) across 11 tests.
- Recent Feb 2026 tyre advisory — indicates ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2021, averaging 6,705 miles/year, suggesting light use.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent tests (Feb 2026).
