2013 Renault G 1.5L Diesel · LV63 FFX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted just one year ago on 2025-07-25, shows a clean pass with no defects recorded—though it is notable that the same test date also includes a failed entry at identical mileage, which suggests either a duplicate entry error or a rare anomaly in the system. The preceding test in August 2024 similarly shows two entries (one pass, one fail) at 114,011 miles, reinforcing the possibility of a technical glitch rather than a genuine pattern of mechanical failure. The 2023 test at 100,542 miles remains the only unambiguous pass in the record, indicating no recurring advisories or defects over the past three years. While the lack of defects in the most recent tests is reassuring, the duplicate entries demand clarification from the seller to confirm there were no underlying issues overlooked. The recorded mileage of 114,844 miles over approximately 13 years suggests an average annual distance of around 8,834 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in mileage accumulation between tests, though the jump from 100,542 miles in July 2023 to 114,011 miles in August 2024—covering roughly 13,500 miles in under a year—implies consistent usage rather than prolonged storage. The absence of advisories or partial failures in any test suggests the vehicle has not experienced sudden or severe wear patterns, though this does not preclude gradual degradation in high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain joints over time. Given the lack of recorded defects, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to cracking or degradation at this mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly flagged in the MOT history, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in Renault models of this era. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, where corrosion can compromise safety without always being visible from the exterior. The duplicate MOT entries raise caution; verifying the vehicle’s service history for brake fluid changes, differential fluid maintenance, and timing belt conditions—if applicable—would further mitigate risk.
