2015 Renault Unknown 2.3L Diesel · PX65 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a pattern of reactive maintenance and neglect related to its low usage. While it passed its most recent test in June 2026 at 17,456 miles, this followed a significant failure just six weeks prior. The May 2026 failure revealed critical mechanical issues, including a binding nearside rear brake, breaking brake pads, and insufficient parking brake efficiency. This suggests that while the car is functional, the owner only addresses faults upon failure rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,587 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the long intervals between tests, such as the 1,400-mile gap between November 2019 and April 2021. However, periods of inactivity have clearly contributed to degradation of components. The April 2021 test flagged that all tyres were eight years old and perished, a common symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary where rubber age and lack of movement outweigh the remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to check for seized calipers and corrosion caused by long periods of standing. The May 2026 failure for a binding rear brake and pitted discs indicates that the braking assembly is prone to environmental damage. Additionally, verify the state of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the history shows a trend of ignoring age-related wear. The recurring failures of minor items like light bulbs and side repeaters suggest a lack of basic pre-test checks by the previous owner.
