2006 Renault Clio Expression 1.4L Other · IEZ 7572

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on its last recorded pass on 8 March 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable as the record shows no listed defects or advisories across multiple tests. The most recent pass was achieved shortly after a failure on 5 March 2024, though the DVSA record does not specify the nature of that failure. The mileage data is highly inconsistent and suggests potential recording errors or odometer tampering. The vehicle showed 92,163 miles on 9 January 2023 and increased to 97,780 miles by March 2024. However, a previous entry on 4 October 2021 recorded a significantly higher mileage of 157,122 miles. This discrepancy of nearly 60,000 miles between 2021 and 2023 is a major red flag that undermines the reliability of the vehicle's history. A buyer must verify the actual mileage and check for signs of odometer rollback. Because the MOT history is unusually clean for a 2006 model, you should conduct a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and chassis rails. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these commonly perish on older Clios regardless of a clean test sheet. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for binding. Given the erratic mileage records, you should also verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. The lack of recorded advisories over several years is atypical for a vehicle of this age and warrants a skeptical, hands-on mechanical assessment.
