AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2008 Renault Twingo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 110,344 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the last three successive annual examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,130 miles per year. The record shows 104,329 miles on 28 January 2022, rising to 105,505 by 1 August 2023 and 106,809 by 4 October 2024, then 110,344 by October 2025. A sparse but consistent history reveals only one anomaly: a failed test on 21 July 2023 at 105,503 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 1 August 2023 at 105,505 miles, suggesting an administrative or retest issue rather than mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear across the five recorded tests, so the MOT data alone shows no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A clean sheet across this period implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory compliance in order, though the absence of advisories at this age and mileage is unusual and warrants caution. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers, as the MOT record does not capture gradual consumable degradation between tests. Given the car stood at 104,329 miles for nearly two years before 2022, check for perished rubber components and fluid contamination from prolonged low use.
