AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Renault has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 34,608 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (5,878 miles/yr) and numerous unresolved issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,878 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 88,668 miles in May 2019 to only 2,322 miles by November 2021, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-10-15 indicates immediate safety risk.
- Recurring major failures in lights (3 times), steering (2 times), and suspension (1 time) across 12 tests.
- 23 advisories for the same components (tyres, brakes, suspension) across 12 tests, showing chronic neglect.
- Mileage dropped significantly from 88,668 miles in May 2019 to only 2,322 miles by November 2021, a major red flag for odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-16, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2019.
