2007 Renault Modus 1.4L Petrol · DA07 BHO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of immediate failures prior to passing. The most recent test on 10 August 2024 at 93,064 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the specific issues causing the initial failure were rectified. While the pattern of failing and then passing in both 2023 and 2024 suggests the owner reacts react rather than proactive maintenance, the current record does not show a trend of worsening mechanical degradation. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,064 miles is remarkably low, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, light usage, with only 6,383 miles driven between the August 2022 and September 2023 tests, and another 7,399 miles between September 2023 and August 2024. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of sitting can lead to degradation of rubber-based components, seized brake calipers, or perished fuel lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, which is common on Renault models of this era. Given the low mileage, inspect the state of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these parts age with time regardless of distance. The recurring failures in the last two years without listed defects in the pass likely suggest minor items like bulbs, wipers, or minor leaks, but a thorough check of the brake discs and hoses is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has occurred from low use.
