RENAULT CLIO SE EDITION TCE2022 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT result from October 2025 at 12,035 miles, showing no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no prior failures or advisories to suggest a worsening condition. The absence of any flagged issues in the most recent test indicates the car has been kept to a standard that meets UK roadworthiness requirements, and there is no evidence of systemic neglect or recurring mechanical faults in the recorded history. The mileage of 12,035 miles over four years equates to approximately 3,009 miles per annum, which is notably low for a 2022 model. This suggests the vehicle has seen minimal use, possibly due to careful ownership or extended periods of inactivity. There are no recorded MOT entries between 2023 and 2025, which may indicate the car was not driven enough to trigger a test, or that the owner chose to delay the MOT until the 2025 renewal. The lack of intermediate records does not raise red flags, but it does limit insight into wear patterns on components like tyres, suspension, or brake systems that benefit from regular use. Given the low annual mileage and the single recent MOT with no defects, a buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for signs of inactivity-related wear. Pay close attention to suspension bushes and coil springs, which can stiffen or degrade when unused for long periods. Check brake calipers and discs for binding or corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to seized components. Examine the exhaust system for rust, particularly around joints and underbody areas, as moisture can accumulate without regular heat cycles. Tyre condition should also be verified, as low mileage doesn’t guarantee tread integrity if the car was stored for extended periods. The clean MOT record and low mileage suggest the vehicle has been well cared for, but the lack of intermediate data means the buyer must rely on physical inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues. Focus on areas most affected by inactivity — suspension, brakes, and exhaust — and verify that all fluid levels and electrical systems function as expected. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to validate the MOT findings and assess any potential long-term effects of low usage.
