Is it still a one piece exhaust Ed - I’d say so but the underneath pictures are crap -

It's hard to tell from those snaps Nick, but I'd say that it could well be, the centre silencer certainly looks like the original Renault one...
I'm PM'd a couple of other thoughts.

Tends to be what happens to the finish, particularly if the car lives outside a fair bit. They seem to last about 7 years before peeling, it's really annoying.
The previous owner of my car sourced and fitted a new item back in around 2017, but to my dismay that started to peel last year and I never touch the damn thing! Luckily I have a few in my hoard, stored very carefully...

I'd be looking closer under the bonnet, at the state of those top mounts if we're chatting storage conditions.

I'd love to know the back story.
Perhaps it lived in the carpark of Fitness First in 2009..
(with no MOT...)

Makes you wonder if it was owned by someone who sadly passed away ? Must be a story as Ed says , be great to know.
Looking forward to the “ comments “ when it goes live on CC , we can ask questions

The postcode on the rear window brought me here:
Guess that Mitsubishi Garage used to be a Renault dealership? It's since become a branch of Toolstation from later street view.

Mine was a Masters car. I picked it up from that very garage, they had seven or eight stored in the rear of the building. It does have a few issues but someone with the right amount of cash is going to get a nice motor.

I’ve worked out how it was taxed with no Mot - the car was registered on the 6th Aug 05 - so on the 1st Aug 08 technically it didn’t need a Mot to get the last 6 months tax up to 31st Jan 09 - the car has then come off the road and stored since late 08 in my view.
Jules your right though - this will make a stunning car with some effort and isn’t it great to find another 1 owner low mileage car as we are all intrigued to know what’s still out there and then this comes along.
