This 2012 Renault has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 22,779 miles. This fundamental data conflict makes the vehicle unroadworthy and unassessable.
Mileage is consistent with UK average at 8,062 miles/year, showing no anomalies or fraud across 11 MOT tests.
Things to check
- Critical MOT status: 'Not valid' with expiry 2025-06-10 is impossible and unroadworthy.
- Major recurring failures: Lights (4 failures), Windscreen (2 failures), and Steering (2 failures) indicate systemic neglect.
- Dangerous defect: Nearside Front Tyre had a bulge (separation) on 2017-03-15, a serious safety failure.
- Untaxed status: Vehicle is currently untaxed, adding to the overall unroadworthy condition.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage: 8,062 miles/year aligns perfectly with UK average, no fraud detected.
- No mileage gaps: All 11 MOT tests show continuous, logical mileage progression with no anomalies.
- Recent clean pass: The most recent MOT pass on 2024-06-11 shows no current failures or advisories.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
