This 2003 Renault has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 24,388 miles. This fundamental data conflict makes the vehicle unroadworthy and unassessable.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 5,739 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • MOT status: Not valid — vehicle is unroadworthy and cannot be legally driven.
  • MOT expiry date: 2016-02-25 — impossible for a 23-year-old vehicle, indicating a data anomaly.
  • 4 major failures across 14 tests: Emissions (3), Steering (2), Suspension (2) — recurring system failures.
  • Brake disc advisories recurring (Feb 2013, Feb 2015): indicates ongoing wear on safety-critical components.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage: 24,388 miles over 23 years, suggesting light use.
  • No mileage anomalies: No suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates strong safety features for its era.
