2011 Renault Grand Modus 1.5L Diesel · MF11 BJO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 100,828 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior involving multiple mechanical defects. The tester identified critical suspension failures, including three fractured coil springs and a damaged shock absorber, alongside seriously weakened brake discs. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than monitoring and replacing worn components before they fail. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a significant six-year gap between the November 2020 test at 100,224 miles and the April 2026 test at 100,828 miles, indicating the car covered only 600 miles in that period. Such long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion, which aligns with the various issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the vehicle shows a recurring history of failing coil springs and leaking shock absorbers. The presence of front radiator support corrosion noted in 2020 warrants close scrutiny to ensure structural integrity has not progressed beyond surface rust level. Additionally, the braking system requires verification; the April 2026 failure for fluctuating front brakes indicates thin rotors or seized calipers that may still require attention. The frayed offset rear seat belt noted in 2019 should also be checked to ensure it remains functional for safety standards.
