2002 Renault Laguna 1.8L Petrol · HT52 AKG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the data set is critically limited and outdated. The most recent recorded test in April 2022 at 157,840 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects noted, following a failure just six days prior at 157,817 miles. Because there has been no MOT activity recorded for over four years, it is impossible to verify the current mechanical condition or whether the vehicle has remained maintained since its last inspection. At 157,840 miles, the Laguna has averaged approximately 6,577 miles per year over its twenty-four-year life, which aligns with typical low-mileage patterns. However, the four-year gap in testing history suggests the car may have been stationary for long periods or is being operated without legal compliance. This lack of recent data increases the risk of degraded rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination, which are common in older vehicles that sit idle. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity and rear subframe mounting points, as the record does not account for years of environmental corrosion. Given the age, check the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perishing. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy pitting and the condition of the tyres for cracking, as the 2022 pass provides no insight into the state of these vital consumables in 2026.
