2008 RENAULT MODUS1.1L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 34,149 miles with no defects recorded. Although the car failed a test four days earlier on 26 March 2026, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, which suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,897 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the odometer increased from 27,809 to 34,149 miles. This indicates the car has been used sparingly over the last three years, covering only about 2,100 miles annually. Such low usage often protects the drivetrain from wear but can introduce risks associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The absence of any advisories or failures since 2023 is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests either meticulous care or an overly lenient testing regime. You must physically inspect the rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for perishing or dry rot. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rust if stored in damp environments. Verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure they have not seized or pitted due to inactivity. A thorough check of the fluid levels and a test of the battery health are also recommended given the light usage pattern.
