This 2013 Renault has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 13,921 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2021-08-05, which is a major red flag.
The vehicle shows 54,338 miles over 13 years, which is a significant anomaly, well below the average of 85,325 miles for a 2013 Renault 5 E-Tech.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2018-07-10 (Offside Front) and 2018-07-10 (Nearside Front).
- Mileage significantly below average: 54,338 miles over 13 years (expected 85,325).
- MOT currently 'Not valid' with expiry 2021-08-05, indicating a significant lapse in roadworthiness checks.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2017, 2018, 2020) suggest a pattern of wear and potential neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (2019, 2020) after initial low usage, showing regular use.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., emissions, suspension) beyond the dangerous brake issues.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from 2018-07-19, despite the current status.
