2008 Renault Laguna 1.5L Diesel · MM08 FSU

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available MOT data, though the record is now significantly outdated. The most recent pass on 7 October 2023 at 158,010 miles was clean, with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of immediate rectification, as the car failed the day prior at 158,008 miles before passing. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 8,778 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between August 2021 and October 2022, where the odometer rose from 132,657 to 146,811 miles. Since the October 2023 test, the vehicle has recorded no further mileage or MOT entries for nearly three years, suggesting it has been stationary for a prolonged period. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the long period of inactivity since 2023 often leads to binding calipers, perished rubber bushes, and seized brake discs. The lack of recent data means the current roadworthiness is unknown. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis. Older Renaults of this era are prone to corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. Given the gap in testing, a thorough check for rust and a verification of fluid levels are essential to ensure the engine and drivetrain have not suffered from long-term standing.
