1995 RENAULT EXTRA1.9L DIESEL

The 1995 Renault Extra has a limited MOT history, with the most recent record dated 2010-11-10 (126,546 miles). This entry showed no defects, but earlier data reveals a significant failure in 2009-06-09 at 112,219 miles. The 2009 failure included multiple critical issues: both front brake discs were excessively scored, headlamps had improper aim, and the parking brake efficiency barely met standards. Corrosion caused a sharp edge on the nearside front body, and the rear registration plate was deteriorated. These defects suggest potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions. The 2009 failure occurred just 15 months before the 2010 pass, but there is no evidence of follow-up repairs or subsequent MOT results. The vehicle’s low mileage (around 4,082 miles annually) may indicate infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and component degradation. While the 2010 MOT showed no defects, the absence of records after this date leaves uncertainty about whether the 2009 issues were resolved or if new problems emerged. The braking system appears to be a recurring concern. The 2009 failure highlighted scored brake discs and a parking brake that required adjustment, both of which are safety-critical.
