2008 Renault Modus 1.5L Diesel · CU58 HLF

The 2008 Renault Modus remains roadworthy based on its latest MOT test on 2025-07-14 at 122,401 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend over the past three years is stable, with all four MOTs from 2022 to 2025 passing without issues. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage patterns for its era, and the absence of advisories or failures suggests no immediate risks to safety or functionality. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with the 2022 test at 115,383 miles followed by 120,663 in 2023, 122,006 in 2024, and 122,401 in 2025. This reflects an average annual usage of approximately 6,800 miles, consistent with the vehicle’s 18-year lifespan. Notably, the gap between 2023 and 2024 saw a 1,343-mile increase, while the final 355-mile increment between 2024 and 2025 suggests minimal recent usage. The MOT history is clean, with no evidence of repeated failures or unresolved issues, which implies the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age, and check for brake disc wear or caliper binding, which can develop over time without immediate detection. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, warrants inspection, as older models like the Modus are prone to rust in high-traffic areas. While the MOT records indicate no critical faults, the absence of detailed defect reports means a physical examination is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond the recorded tests.
