2011 Renault Modus 1.1L Petrol · PN11 EUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 92,563 miles passed, it introduced concerns regarding a corroded rear brake pipe and perishing tyre rubber. This follows a significant failure in late 2023 involving multiple front brake faults, suggesting that components are often only addressed once they reach a critical failure point or fail an inspection. At 92,563 miles over 15 years, the Modus averages approximately 6,170 miles per year, which is consistent with low-mileage urban use. The data shows steady usage intervals, such as roughly 3,000 miles driven between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This low annual mileage limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and accelerated surface corrosion, as evidenced by the recurring issues with brake pipes and perished tyres. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking system and underbody condition. The November 2023 failure for worn front discs, fluctuating efficiency, and imbalanced braking indicates a history of neglected front-end hardware. The buyer should verify that the rear brake pipe flagged in 2025 has been replaced rather than merely cleaned, as the presence of grease noted in the tester's report suggests the underlying corrosion may have been obscured. The tyres also require close scrutiny as the record shows a persistent trend of wear and impact damage between 2023 and 2025. Additionally, the distorted nearside front rim noted in 2022 suggests a past impact, which could have affected the suspension geometry or steering alignment. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural rust on the sills and floor is essential to ensure the corrosion seen on the brake lines has not compromised the integrity.
