2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · GL11 AEC

The 2025‑10‑21 MOT at 108,333 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA’s roadworthiness criteria. A failure for an inoperative offside stop lamp appeared on the same date, yet the latest outcome shows stable mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 93,456 miles in October 2020 to 108,333 miles by October 2025, an accumulation of roughly 15,000 miles over five years, or about 3,000 miles per annum, which exceeds the typical 7,200‑mile‑per‑year average for a 15‑year‑old car. The interval between the 2020 and 2023 tests spans three years with a 9,000‑mile increase, and the 2024 to 2025 interval adds another 2,600 miles, showing consistent but relatively rapid usage. Recurring observations include frequent suspension wear – dust‑cover failures on the front and rear anti‑roll bar linkages, a slightly noisy near‑side rear wheel bearing, and a fractured rear coil spring noted in 2020 – alongside repeated tyre wear at or near the legal limit and progressive brake pad and disc degradation. These patterns point to ongoing exposure to harsh operating conditions and limited preventative maintenance. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints, verify the integrity of the rear coil spring and exhaust mounting, test the operation of all lamps including the stop lamp, examine tyre tread depth and edge wear, and assess brake disc scoring and pad thickness, while also checking for any structural rust that could compromise the chassis.
