2005 Renault Modus 1.1L Petrol · LR55 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. In the final MOT test conducted on November 4, 2021 at 106,514 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded following a failure just the previous day. This suggests that while minor issues were occasionally identified during testing, they were rectified immediately to meet legal safety standards, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining compliance in the later stages of the recorded history. The age pattern is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,072 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in data between October 2019 at 87,272 miles and October 2020 at 99,393 miles, representing over 12,000 miles in a single year. However, the usage slowed considerably thereafter, with only 7,121 miles covered in the following year. This low-frequency usage often implies periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the stagnation of fluids. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. While the history shows no recent advisories, low-mileage cars are prone to corrosion on the sills and artwork arches due to age rather than wear. Inspect the braking system for binding own or corroded discs, as infrequent use can cause these components to seize. Checking the tyres for sidewall cracking is also essential, as rubber often outlives mileage before they reach their legal tread limit.
