AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Renault has 23 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 20,962 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with recurring major failures, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 6,037 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2025): Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2014-06-02 (20,962 mi) — immediate safety risk.
- Recurring major brake failures across 4 tests (2014, 2022, 2023, 2025) — systemic neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,037 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Dec 2025 pass.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
