AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Renault has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 14,867 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and consistent MOT validity are overshadowed by significant structural neglect and a pattern of immediate retests.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 5,373 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2023 onwards, but no evidence of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2021-10-13 (pads <1.5mm) — immediate safety risk.
- Recurring major brake system failures across 2021, 2023, and 2024 MOTs.
- Persistent major windscreen wiper failures in 2021 and 2022 MOTs.
- Major engine/oil failure on 2023-10-13, a rare and serious issue for a 1.2L petrol.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- MOT valid until 2026-10-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,373 mi/yr
