2013 Renault G 1.6L Diesel · LL63 GYZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-01—just over a year ago—shows a clean pass with no recorded defects, though it is unusual to note two identical test dates with both a pass and a fail at the same mileage. This suggests either an administrative duplication or a rare anomaly in the DVSA system, but the absence of any advisories or defects in the last cycle indicates no immediate mechanical failures. The preceding test in 2024-06-18 also passed without issues, reinforcing a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years. However, the lack of advisories or warnings in any of these records means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers were not flagged during testing, but this does not preclude hidden wear. The recorded mileage progression of roughly 9,720 miles annually over the past three years aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the abrupt jump from 100,210 miles in June 2023 to 114,706 miles in June 2024—an increase of 14,496 miles in under a year—could indicate either a period of heavier use or a gap in mileage recording. The most recent 11,660 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025 suggests consistent driving, though the lack of intermediate MOTs means no intermediate checks were performed. This pattern does not inherently signal neglect, but it does mean the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection since the 126,366-mile mark. Given the absence of advisories or defects in the MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly failed, warrant inspection for uneven wear or binding calipers, which could lead to sudden failure. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion or damage, as this is often missed in MOT testing but can compromise safety. Fluid levels—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be checked for degradation, as these are not part of the MOT but critical for long-term reliability.
