2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · KV61 ADZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-01-16 at 102,388 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this test predates the current date by over two years, raising concerns about unverified maintenance. Previous tests from 2023 and 2022 show consistent passing results with no recorded issues, suggesting a stable maintenance history. However, the absence of defects in both pass and fail outcomes across multiple tests is unusual and may indicate incomplete or inconsistent testing. The lack of recent inspection data means critical components like brakes, suspension, and exhaust could have deteriorated without formal assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 102,388 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,826 miles, reflecting typical wear for a 15-year-old car. Gaps between MOTs, such as the 12-month interval between the 2022-01-24 pass and the 2024-01-16 pass, suggest potential lapses in routine checks. While no major wear patterns are evident from the record, the absence of detailed defect reports limits confidence in the car’s mechanical state. Buyers should verify if the vehicle has undergone independent servicing or if the MOT history reflects accurate condition assessments. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOTs without recorded issues may mask underlying problems like worn brake discs or binding calipers. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny due to age and mileage. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion is common in older vehicles. The lack of exhaust emission data in the record further underscores the need for a professional inspection to confirm compliance with current standards.
