RENAULT UNKNOWN2007 · 2.5L Diesel

The Renault passed its most recent MOT on 12 March 2026 at 134,986 miles with no defects recorded, so it currently holds a clean roadworthiness certificate. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the only blemish being a failed test three days earlier on 9 March 2026 at 134,933 miles where the tester logged no defects. This pattern repeats from the prior year: a fail on 17 March 2025 at 129,166 miles with no defects, followed by a pass on 19 March 2025 at 129,168 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its recorded history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2007 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,100 miles per year against the 134,986 miles now recorded. The records show steady use: 124,220 miles in March 2024, 129,168 in March 2025, and 134,986 in March 2026, a consistent 5,000 to 6,000 miles added each year. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, with every test either passing clean or failing without a listed defect, which limits insight into wear on consumables or structure. The repeated no-defect failures on 9 March 2026 and 17 March 2025 suggest administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults, though a buyer should still verify in person. Given the car's nineteen-year age and 134,986 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion warrant a direct inspection even though no advisories were raised. The clean record offers no warning of binding calipers or exhaust emissions problems, but absence of flagged items is not proof of sound condition. A pre-purchase check should focus on structural integrity and hidden rust, particularly around sills and suspension mounts, since MOT advisories would normally capture such wear and none exist here. The owner kept the vehicle tested yearly with low annual miles, implying light use rather than neglect, yet the twin fail-pass pairs in 2025 and 2026 call for confirmation that the March 2026 pass reflects true roadworthiness and not a rushed retest.
