2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · EK58 ABN

The vehicle is currently not in a verifiable roadworthy state as the most recent MOT test date was 8 August 2022. This leaves a gap of nearly four years since the last official inspection. While the tests from 2020 to 2022 show a stable trend with no recorded defects upon passing, the lack of recent data means the current mechanical condition is unknown. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,147 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between August 2020 at 112,212 miles and August 2021 at 128,638 miles, representing a jump of over 16,000 miles in one year. Usage then slowed considerably, with only 18,014 miles added between August 2021 and the final recorded test in August 2022 at 146,652 miles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Given the age of this Renault Clio and the long period of inactivity since 2022, structural corrosion and seized brake calipers are primary risks. The absence of recorded defects in the history is positive, but it does not account for the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which often perish when a car stands idle. Prioritise a check of the fluid levels and the integrity of the exhaust system. The record shows the car failed twice in 2021 and twice in 2022 before passing, though the DVSA record does not specify the reasons for these failures. This pattern suggests the previous owner may have neglected preemptive maintenance, opting to fix issues only when forced by a failed test.
