2008 Renault Laguna 1.5L Diesel · CV58 KFJ

The 2008 Renault Laguna presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 April 2025 at 73,062 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 24 April 2024 at 68,426 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across its available history, and the advisory profile remains empty throughout. Recorded mileage sits at 73,062 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,059 miles per year. This is low for the age and points to light use or extended periods off the road. The gap between the 25 July 2022 test at 54,722 miles and the April 2024 tests shows about 13,700 miles added in twenty months, then only 4,636 miles in the following twelve months. The sole blemish is a fail on 23 April 2024 at 68,421 miles with no defects listed, reversed the next day on a pass at 68,426 miles, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The clean MOT record gives no flagged items for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as a Laguna of this vintage can hide rust where the tester cannot see without stripping panels. Standing time implied by low mileage risks seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded fluids despite the absence of advisories. Given the sparse but clean history, previous keepers appear to have kept the car minimally compliant rather than actively maintained. Verify service receipts and check for perished hoses or aged timing components before purchase, since the MOT only confirms statutory minimum condition on the test day.
