RENAULT CLIO2004 · 1.1L Petrol

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 32,114 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show the same clean outcome, with passes logged on 16 December 2024 at 27,326 miles, 19 December 2023 at 25,144 miles, and 29 March 2023 at 22,297 miles. The single failure on 16 December 2024 at 27,326 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Across the five-year span the vehicle cleared every substantive inspection without advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust, or corrosion. At approximately 22 years old the car shows 32,114 recorded miles, an average of roughly 1,460 miles per year. The records reveal light and consistent use: only 4,788 miles accumulated between March 2023 and December 2024, then a further 4,788 miles to December 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The sparse, clean history suggests the previous keeper stored the vehicle for long periods and committed to basic statutory testing, though low mileage alone does not confirm thorough servicing of consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and hidden corrosion, as the MOT tester records no advisories but a 2004 hatchback of this age commonly develops rust at sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points unseen during a brief test. The absence of flagged brake discs, calipers, or suspension bushes across the record does not exempt the car from degraded rubber components after two decades of age. Verify the timing belt, coolant hoses, and fluid condition, since standing vehicles suffer perishable part failure independent of mileage.
