AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Renault has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 20,456 miles. The vehicle's mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low usage for many years followed by a significant drop in recent years.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2017 (73 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a 4-year MOT gap (Aug 2012–Jan 2017), and then a significant drop in annual usage from 2017 onwards.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2023-08-30; vehicle is currently not valid for road use.
- Recurring major failures in suspension (Aug 2019, Aug 2022) and steering (Aug 2019, Aug 2022).
- Recurring major failures in lights (Aug 2018, Aug 2019, Aug 2022).
- Mileage dropped significantly from 2017 onwards, indicating potential neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner or careful use.
- No recent MOT failures, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to pass recent tests.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
