AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Renault has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 43,920 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories and one major failure for brakes warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 9,274 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a period of lower annual mileage from 2023 onwards.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Oct 2020, Nov 2021, Aug 2023) and one major failure (Aug 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
- Anti-roll bar link dust cover advisory (Nov 2021) escalated to a major failure (Aug 2024), showing a structural neglect pattern.
- Headlamp insecurity (Oct 2020) and driver's view obstruction (Aug 2025) suggest a history of electrical or optical issues.
- The 2010–present electrical fault and 2013–present head gasket/fuel pump issues (community knowledge) are significant model-specific weaknesses.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 9,274 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Valid MOT until 08/2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, demonstrating owner responsiveness.
