2005 Renault Modus 1.6L Petrol · LR55 ACU

The Renault Modus presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent MOT test on 30 October 2024 at 117,690 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history remains stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged in any test from 2021 through 2024. The vehicle cleared its annual examinations consistently, indicating no worsening condition captured by DVSA inspections. Recorded mileages show light annual use relative to the 2005 build date. In the 18 October 2021 test at 105,552 miles the car passed. Twelve months later on 17 October 2022 it passed at 110,454 miles, a 3,902-mile increment. The 26 October 2023 examination at 113,803 miles added 3,349 miles. By 29 October 2024 the odometer read 117,684 miles before the subsequent pass at 117,690. This equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year overall, a low figure for a two-decade-old hatchback. The sequence displays no abrupt accumulation or missing years, though the dataset begins only at 2021. A notable anomaly appears in the 29 October 2024 failure at 117,684 miles, which listed no defects yet preceded a pass twenty-four hours later at 117,690 miles. The tester issued no advisory on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural integrity during that event. Such a result points to an administrative or presentation rejection rather than a latent mechanical fault. Prior keepers evidently addressed whatever caused the halt without rectifying recorded wear items, suggesting basic compliance rather than neglected upkeep. Given the absence of flagged corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or binding calipers in the official record, the Modus shows no evidence of escalating structural risk. However, age alone invites deterioration of consumable rubber and metal. A buyer should inspect coil springs for fracture, check suspension arms for perished bushes, and assess subframe corrosion during a physical viewing. Low mileage may mask tyre sidewall cracking after standing periods, so examine tread and sidewalls directly.
