AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Renault has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 30,610 miles. While mileage is consistent, the lack of a current MOT and recurring suspension failures present significant risks.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 10,110 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious readings across its 22-year history.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the analysis date, indicating no current roadworthiness certification.
  • The vehicle has a 22-year-old MOT history with no recent tests, suggesting long periods of unverified roadworthiness.
  • Recurring suspension failures (ball joint, coil springs) and a fractured rear coil spring indicate structural neglect.
  • The 2004 Renault 5 E-Tech is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a £12.50/day charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,110 miles/year, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), indicating a strong safety record for its age.
