2011 Renault Grand Modus 1.6L Petrol · GL11 LCE

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 44,027 miles followed a failure just two days prior due to a serious leak in the nearside front shock absorber and insufficient washer fluid. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the presence of an advisory for a defective spare tyre suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they threaten an MOT pass rather than performing comprehensive preventative maintenance. At 44,027 miles, this 2011 model has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns with a 6,000-mile gap between the September 2023 and 2024 tests. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals, which may be the cause of the fluid-related issues noted in the record. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the history shows a recurring trend of component failure. The tester flagged a corroded nearside front coil spring in 2023 and a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber in 2025. These findings suggest that the suspension components are failing due to age and corrosion despite the low mileage mileage. The windscreen should also be checked for cracks, as damage was noted in both 2022 and 2024, to ensure no cracks have progressed into the driver's field of vision.
