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

This 2003 Renault has 25 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 25,589 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2022-02-03, which is a major red flag.

The vehicle shows only 25,589 miles over 23 years, which is extremely low and highly suspicious for a 2003 car.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Jun 2014 – Jan 2015)
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2022-02-03, indicating no current MOT.
  • Only 25,589 miles recorded over 23 years is extremely low and highly suspicious.
  • First MOT test on 2006-07-31 failed for excessively pitted brake discs.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the 2006 failure.
  • The 2006 failure for excessively pitted brake discs was immediately rectified.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars indicates a generally safe vehicle.
