Renault Laguna (2010)
2010 Renault Laguna
CarHunch analysed 3,004 real MOT records for the 2010 Renault Laguna. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Renault Laguna falls 6.1 percentage points below the UK average first-time pass rate at 73.9%, suggesting reliability is a genuine concern for this model year. More worryingly, 44.2% of vehicles in this cohort have had a dangerous defect flagged during MOT testing—nearly double the typical rate—which makes pre-purchase inspection non-negotiable for any buyer.
At nearly 91,000 miles on average, these Lagunes have covered typical mileage for their age, but the real red flag is the failure rate: an average of 4.0 failures per vehicle indicates chronic weak spots rather than one-off wear items. Before committing to one of these cars, insist on a full independent inspection focusing on braking, suspension, and electrical systems, where this generation is known to struggle.
What to check before buying a 2010 Renault Laguna
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 44.2% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
