Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the mileage is relatively low for the age, the recurring MOT failures regarding structural corrosion and mechanical neglect suggest a history of poor-quality maintenance.
When inspecting this Modus, your primary focus must be structural integrity. The MOT records flag corrosion on the front underframe support and radiator cross member across multiple years; you must ensure these areas have been properly treated or replaced, as structural rust can lead to an un-roadworthy vehicle in the near future.
Check the braking system and wheels thoroughly. The history shows recurring issues with binding brakes and distorted wheel rims, which may indicate previous impacts or general lack of care. Ask for a full service history to see if the oil leak noted in 2026 has been addressed, as persistent leaks can lead to more expensive engine failures later.
The 1.6L petrol engine is not the most efficient in its class, but you can expect around 35-40 MPG realistically. Tax is generally in a lower band, and insurance groups for this model are typically affordable for budget car buyers.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the recurring issues with brake components and structural wear. Estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,000-£1,300 including fuel, tax, insurance, and a fund for unexpected repairs.
Get underneath the car with a torch to inspect the extent of the corrosion mentioned. Specifically, check the front underframe support and the radiator cross member for bubbling paint or deep pitting, as these were flagged in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Surface rust is one thing, but structural rot is a dealbreaker.
Examine the inner wheel rims for dents or cracks, as the nearside front rim has been noted as distorted twice recently. Also, test the brake pedal to ensure it doesn't feel 'smooth' or spongy, and check the indicator switch, which was previously identified as worn and in need of investigation.
This 2010 Renault Modus sits at 70,946 miles, which is below average for a sixteen-year-old car. However, the MOT history reveals a concerning pattern of structural rust on the underframe and radiator cross member, alongside persistent brake and wheel damage issues. The vehicle appears to have been maintained only when necessary to pass the annual test.
The Renault Modus is generally regarded as a practical small car, but can suffer from electrical gremlins and rust issues in older examples.
