2008 Renault Laguna 2.0L Petrol · LC08 UWG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and lighting. The most recent test in November 2025 at 112,123 miles resulted in an initial failure due to lighting defects and mechanical play, though these issues were rectified to secure a pass. The recurring presence of a distorted road wheel and play in the anti-roll bar linkage indicates that mechanical wear is not being addressed proactively. This suggests the owner only repairs faults once they cause a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 112,123 miles over 18 years, the Laguna has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 2,240 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 3,200 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage profile often masks periods where rubber components and suspension assemblies suffer from age-related degradation. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record repeatedly flags worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage issues, which can lead to poor handling and uneven tyre wear. The persistent distortion of the nearside road wheel, noted in 2023 and 2025, suggests a history of significant impact that may have compromised the wheel bearing, steering hub, or rim alignment. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a corroded nearside lower coil spring requires a visual check for structural fractures to ensure the spring is not at risk of snapping.
