RENAULT CLIO2002 · 1.1L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on July 4, 2025 at 64,287 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the mechanical failures typical of a car of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,679 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 37,596 miles and the July 2025 test at 64,287 miles, the car covered 26,691 miles. This consistent low-frequency usage suggests light operation which generally limits mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to periods of inactivity. Despite the lack of recorded MOT advisories, a physical inspection must focus on age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. The buyer should check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear suspension points, as these areas are prone to rust on older Renault models regardless of distance driven. Inspect the suspension bushes and bushings for cracking or perished rubber, as these become brittle over decades even with minimal use. The braking system should be checked for seized calipers or pitted discs, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on the braking surfaces.
