2000 RENAULT 1.9L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2008-10-28 recorded a pass with no defects at 139,033 miles. However, earlier entries reveal recurring issues. A 2007-10-18 failed test listed movement in the steering rack on both sides, nearside and offside, alongside non-working stop lamps and a damaged mirror. This suggests potential steering system wear or alignment problems, which could compromise handling and safety. A prior 2006-11-06 failure highlighted tyre tread below legal limits, rough rear wheel bearings, and a non-working stop lamp. These indicate neglect in maintenance, particularly with tyres and braking components. While a 2006-11-07 MOT passed with no defects, the proximity of these entries suggests inconsistent attention to vehicle upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 139,033 miles over 26 years equates to roughly 5,347 miles annually—a low figure for its age. This could imply infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which may lead to issues like seized components, degraded rubber, or fluid stagnation. However, the absence of recent defects in the 2008 MOT suggests some repairs or maintenance may have addressed prior problems.
