RENAULT LAGUNA2002 · 1.8L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, reflecting a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 20 June 2025 at 40,848 miles showed no defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or safety-related dejects typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per annum. Between June 2021 and June 2024, the car covered only 3,663 miles, indicating very infrequent use. The increase of 2,923 miles recorded between the June 2024 and 2025 tests shows a slight uptick in usage, but the vehicle remains a low-mile example. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of standing can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and dry seals in fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from time rather than distance. Given the low mileage, the inspector needs to check for perished suspension bushes, split rubber hoses, and cracked tyres that may have sufficient tread but lack flexibility. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the sills and subframes, as Laguna models from this era are prone to corrosion if stored poorly. The braking system should also be tested for binding calipers or seized pistons, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
