1990 RENAULT R191.9L DIESEL

The 2008 MOT entry, the most recent recorded test, showed a passed result with no major defects, though a headlamp was damaged but still functional. This suggests the vehicle met basic safety standards at that time, but the absence of any MOT records since 2008 raises concerns about its current condition. A 36-year-old car with 107,095 miles averages 2,975 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to mechanical issues like corrosion, seized components, or degraded fluids. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with the braking system and tyres. In 2007, a leaking offside rear brake and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit were recorded, with the tyre issue reappearing in a subsequent pass. A 2006 failure highlighted a damaged steering rack and a faulty headlamp switch, both of which are serious safety risks. While some issues were addressed (e.g., the tyre), the steering rack damage and brake leaks suggest potential neglect or unresolved repairs. The lack of recent MOT data means it is unclear whether these problems were fully resolved or worsened over time. The trend of defects appears stable in terms of frequency but not in severity.
