This 2002 Renault has 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 9,789 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is also currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2011-10-19, which is impossible for a 24-year-old car.
The vehicle shows only 9,789 miles over 24 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, raising serious odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2011-10-19; vehicle is unroadworthy and illegal to drive — £2000-£4000 deduction for required MOT and repairs.
- Mileage of 9,789 miles is a critical anomaly, suggesting potential odometer fraud — £1500-£3000 deduction for associated risks.
- Brake system failures and advisories are recurring and severe, indicating chronic neglect or structural issues — £500-£1000 deduction for imminent brake overhaul.
- Multiple major failures across different years (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) point to systemic problems — £1000-£2000 deduction for potential major repairs.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- Consistent retesting pattern shows immediate repairs were made after failures, suggesting responsive ownership.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the car has been maintained since the last test.
- The vehicle's low mileage (9,789 miles) suggests minimal wear and tear on certain components.
