This 2013 Renault has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 33,050 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its specific model, raises significant safety and reliability concerns.

The vehicle shows a highly suspicious mileage anomaly, with only 33,050 miles recorded over 13 years, followed by a sudden spike to 100,637 miles by March 2026.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Only 33,050 miles recorded over 13 years (Jan 2013 to Mar 2026), then 100,637 miles by Mar 2026.
  • Recurring Major Suspension Failures: Four major suspension failures (coil springs, ball joints) across 2013-2024 MOTs.
  • Recurring Major Brake Failures: One major brake

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage fraud detected in the recent MOT history (Mar 2025 onwards).
  • No recurring dangerous defects (e.g., brake failure, steering fault) in the recent MOT history (Mar 2025 onwards).
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
