2011 Renault Modus 1.6L Petrol · SM11 ADO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 9 October 2025 at 56,487 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories. While the car failed its tests on 2 October 2025 and 24 September 2024, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues corrected immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 3,766 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between September 2024 and October 2025, where the odometer rose from 43,598 to 56,487 miles. This indicates the car has been driven more frequently in the last year than in the preceding three years, during which it covered only 4,753 miles between September 2023 and September 2024. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, which can occur even if the tread remains deep. The brake system requires a thorough check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs, as cars that stand for long periods are prone to corrosion in the braking assembly. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the history is positive. However, given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the chassis and the condition of the engine oil and coolant. These fluids can degrade over time regardless of mileage, and the recent increase in annual usage makes a fresh service history check essential.
