2014 Renault G 1.5L Diesel · DY64 VKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 72,866 miles resulted in a failure due to multiple mechanical and wear issues, including a worn offside front track rod end, a failed anti-roll bar linkage, and a split nearside front CV boot. While the vehicle passed just two miles later after these repairs, the recurrence of multiple failures in a single session suggests that the owner only addresses components once they reach the point of legal failure. At 72,868 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low usage for a twelve-year-old car. The mileage data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the September 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 7,800 miles between August 2023 and 2024. This low mileage often masks the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings, which perish over time through age rather than through mechanical wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension for remaining signs of play, as the track rod end and anti-roll bar linkage have already been flagged as worn. The split CV boot on the nearside drive shaft requires close inspection for signs of grease leakage or dirt ingress, which leads to premature joint failure. Additionally, the offside rear road wheel was noted for a distorted inner rim in both 2023 and 2024; this should be checked for vibrations at speed or uneven tyre wear. Given the history of uneven tyre wear on the offside front, a professional wheel alignment check is necessary to ensure the new tyres are not being scrub out.
