This 2003 Renault has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 72,997 miles. While it has a long service history, the vehicle's age and high usage demand significant caution.
The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 15,682 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies in the MOT mileage readings.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple MOTs (e.g., Oct 2009, Oct 2010, Oct 2011).
- Persistent lighting issues, including major failures and advisories (e.g., Oct 2009, Oct 2010).
- High mileage of 137,790 miles by Oct 2011, indicating significant wear and tear.
- MOT expired 2012-10-29, meaning it has been off-road for a significant period, raising questions about its current condition.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component lifespan.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
