2008 Renault Grand Modus 1.1L Petrol · WN58 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent pass record despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 29 August 2025 at 85,753 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just eleven days prior at 85,656 miles. This sequence suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to ensure compliance, indicating the vehicle remains in a functional and legally sound condition as of the last inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,764 miles per year. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the car covered 6,823 miles, which reinforces the trend of low-distance usage. While this low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts, fluid breakdown, and dry corrosion. The consistent intervals between annual tests suggest the car is used regularly rather than left to for long periods of total inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the underbody, as older low-mileage vehicles can often hide surface rust that has not yet reached a structural threshold. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2025, specific attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs, which tend to perish or fatigue due to age rather than high mileage. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for seizing, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from brake corrosion when the components are not used often enough to clear away surface oxidation.
