2015 Renault Unknown 2.3L Diesel · YX15 BYG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 24 February 2026 confirmed full compliance with UK roadworthiness standards, with no defects recorded at 45,576 miles . The preceding tests—all passing—demonstrate a stable maintenance trend over the past three years, with no recurring advisories or failures. The most recent test occurred just five months ago , placing it within the optimal window for assessing current condition, though an independent inspection remains essential to verify wear beyond MOT thresholds, particularly in areas like suspension bushings and brake hardware. The recorded mileage of 45,576 miles over 11 years suggests exceptionally light usage—approximately 4,143 miles per year , well below the UK average for this vehicle age. The gap between the 2023 November failure (42,808 miles) and subsequent pass (42,809 miles) is anomalous and likely a data anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. No other mileage jumps or prolonged inactivity are evident, though the 11-month gap between the 2023 failure and 2024 pass is unusual and may warrant inquiry into why the vehicle was not tested sooner after the minor discrepancy. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to suspension components , particularly rear bushes and coil springs, which often degrade silently over low-mileage periods. The 2023 failure date —though technically a pass—hints at potential oversight in pre-test checks, so buyers should scrutinise brake caliper binding, disc thickness, and corrosion on wheel arches and subframes. Exhaust emissions should also be monitored, as older Renaults can develop subtle leaks or catalytic converter issues even without MOT failures. Finally, tyre tread depth and wheel alignment may have drifted without high-mileage stress, so visual inspection for uneven wear is advised.
