2007 Renault Modus 1.5L Diesel · FH57 AAO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 09 October 2025 at 38,076 miles with no recorded defects. This follows an improving trend compared to previous years where the vehicle failed initial tests. The transition from failures to a clean pass sheet in late 2024 and 2025 indicates that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the car up to legal standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 34,365 miles and the October 2024 test at 36,990 miles, the car covered only 2,625 miles. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, such infrequent use can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown. The consistency of low mileage suggests the vehicle was used for short local trips rather than long-distance commuting. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as low-mileage vehicles suffer from perished perished and seized brake calipers due to lack of use. The recurring failures in 2023 and 2024 suggest that specific components required attention, though the recent pass shows these resolved. Pay close attention to structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as older chassis are prone to rust regardless of distance driven. Additionally, check the tyres for sidewall cracking despite potentially high tread depth.
