This 2002 Renault has 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 18,797 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
A critical mileage anomaly is present: 442,020 miles on 27 Jan 2011, then 47,835 miles on 29 Jan 2011, and further decreases to 56,323 miles by Jan 2014, indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2011 (442,020 mi) and Jan 2012 (47,835 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased from 442,020 mi (27 Jan 2011) to 47,835 mi (29 Jan 2011) — possible odometer tampering.
- Mileage decreased from 57,575 mi (Jan 2013) to 56,323 mi (Jan 2014) — further evidence of tampering.
- 7 test failures recorded across 18 MOTs, including 4 major failures for critical safety systems.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe vehicle for its era.
- Consistent annual mileage of ~4,790 miles/yr (pre-tampering) suggests light, non-stressful use.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last clean pass in Aug 2016.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided MOT history.
