2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · EF14 AEP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 56,333 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a failure with no defects noted, suggesting a potential administrative error. Previous tests from 2024-05-02 (51,775 miles) to 2022-05-20 (42,998 miles) consistently passed with no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the history, and the absence of advisories or critical failures implies the car has been maintained to meet legal standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,333 miles at 12 years old equates to roughly 4,694 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could reflect infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The MOT record lacks data between 2025-06-17 and 2026-07-22, leaving a 13-month gap in monitoring. This absence of recent testing raises questions about whether the car has been regularly maintained or if it has been left unattended. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask dry rot or binding. The exhaust system and corrosion resistance should be checked, particularly under the chassis, due to potential inactivity. Brake discs and calipers may require scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, as prolonged standing can cause surface corrosion. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the lack of recent tests and low mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
