2008 Renault Modus 1.1L Petrol · FN08 YMW

The Renault Modus presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, where it passed with no defects recorded on 18 February 2026 at 44,566 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes once minor administrative failures were cleared. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or recorded mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. The odometer shows 44,566 miles against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,476 miles per year. The records confirm light use: mileage rose from 41,553 on 14 February 2024 to 43,162 on 21 February 2025, then to 44,565 by 17 February 2026. Sparse entries and zero advisories limit deep wear analysis, but the low annual accumulation suggests gentle running rather than neglected high-mileage abuse. Two failed tests on 17 February 2026 and 21 February 2025 show no defects recorded, pointing to documentation or procedural issues rather than mechanical failure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record omits advisories that often precede failure on a 2008 chassis. Low mileage standing periods can conceal perished rubber components and seized calipers not captured in a clean pass.
