2011 Renault Clio I-Music 1.1L Petrol · DRZ 5466

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive clean passes without any advisory notices. The most recent test in September 2024 at 115,944 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards for road use. This trend suggests a consistent level of maintenance by the recent owners, as they have successfully addressed potential issues before they resulted in MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between October 2019 and May 2022, during which the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles. Following this period, the mileage accumulation became more regular, with roughly 18,000 miles recorded between 2022 and 2023, and another 14,000 miles leading to the 2024 test. This shift in regularity suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent use in its later years. Despite the clean recent history, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation common to 15-year-old Renault. The buyer should specifically examine the structural integrity of the sills and floor pans for corrosion, as MOT tests only flag rust once it becomes structural. Given the low mileage, rubber components such as suspension bushes and split hoses may show signs of cracking from age rather than mechanical wear. Checking the brake system for seized calipers is also advisable, as long periods of standing can lead to internal corrosion on the discs.
