2010 Renault Modus 1.5L Diesel · WL60 AEY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 with 72,150 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the testing requirements despite minor setbacks in previous years. The lack of any recorded defects on the most recent pass suggests that the mechanical and structural components were either maintained or remained within acceptable tolerances at the time of inspection. At 72,150 miles, the vehicle averages approximately 4,500 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the national average for a 16-year-old car. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage, with only 4,627 miles covered between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 8,356 miles between September 2023 and July 2025. While low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake components seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure rather than mileage. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, the age of the Renault warrants a close look at corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing, and check the brake calipers for binding, as low-use vehicles often suffer from uneven pad wear. Given the two failures recorded in 2023 and 2025 that resulted in no recorded defects, it is likely that minor items like bulbs or wipers were addressed immediately prior to the retests.
