AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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
