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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 30,987 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a high number of recurring advisories, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,229 miles per year, with a significant drop to 1,614 miles between Oct 2023 and May 2024, suggesting periods of minimal use or inactivity.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Brake pipe leaking (Oct 2020) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring major failures: 9 major failures for lights and 7 for brakes across 13 tests.
  • Recurring advisories: 10 advisories for steering rack play and 9 for corroded brake pipes.
  • Mileage anomaly: Only 1,614 miles recorded between Oct 2023 and May 2024.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent low mileage for its age, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
