2013 Renault Clio Expression + Energy Dciss 1.5L Diesel · FRZ 5033

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at its most recent inspection. The December 2025 test at 54,133 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the vehicle failed an inspection on 15 October 2024 at 51,345 miles, it successfully cleared this deficiency to pass the subsequent test on 28 October 2024 at 51,427 miles. This suggests that any mechanical or safety issues identified during that failure were promptly addressed by the previous owner. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 4,164 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental usage rather than long periods of dormancy. Between the April 2022 test at 48,183 miles and the July 2023 test at 48,902 miles, the car covered only 719 miles, suggesting periods of light use. However, the jump from 48,902 miles in July 2023 to 51,427 miles in October 2024 indicates a more regular driving pattern during that period. Given the low annual mileage, certain components may have aged due to time rather than wear. A physical inspection should focus on rubber components such as suspension bushes, drive shafts, and tyre sidewalls, which can crack or perish when a vehicle is driven infrequently. The lack of advisories regarding brake discs or corrosion in the recent history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's structural integrity and underbody condition. The buyer should verify that the repairs required for the October 2024 failure were documented with receipts. While the current MOT status is clear, the low mileage profile means the engine has seen relatively little thermal cycling, so checking for fluid leaks or battery health is a prudent step. Overall, the documented history shows a well-maintained vehicle with a consistent testing schedule.
