1997 Renault Sport 2.0L Petrol · P69 TGO

The vehicle is currently not in a verified roadworthy state as the last MOT test dates back to April 2022. While that specific test at 8,721 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the car has been without a valid certificate for over four years. This creates a significant gap in the maintenance record, meaning the current mechanical condition is unknown. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 29 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 301 miles per year. The odometer remained static at 8,721 miles during the April 2022 test, suggesting the car has spent long periods stationary. Low mileage on a vehicle of this vintage often indicates a preserved example, but prolonged inactivity frequently leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid contamination. A physical inspection must prioritise the effects of long term standing. The buyer should check for perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded suspension bushes. Given the age of the Renault Sport, structural corrosion around the chassis and sills is a primary concern, as the 2022 record provides no insight into the current state of the metalwork. The braking system requires a thorough check for binding or pitting on the discs. The engine should be inspected for signs of oil leaks or perished hoses that may have cracked during the four year hiatus since the last official test. A fresh service and a full mechanical health check are essential before returning this vehicle to regular road use.
