RENAULT CLIO2010 · 1.5L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 24 June 2025 at 82,305 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,144 miles per year. Usage patterns have remained steady over the last few years, with the odometer moving from 60,421 miles in August 2022 to 82,305 miles by June 2025. This represents a consistent annual increase of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 miles in the most recent period, suggesting the car is currently in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding faults. Even the failure on 3 August 2022 was resolved on the same day at 60,421 miles, and the lack of any recorded advisories across four years is rare for a vehicle of this age. While the records show no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the absence of any noted wear on consumables suggests a very high standard of preventative maintenance. A physical inspection should focus on components that the MOT test may not fully exhaust. Check for perishing rubber seals and tyre sidewall cracking, which can occur on low-mileage older vehicles regardless of tread depth. Verify the condition of the brake fluid and coolant, as these degrade over time regardless of the mileage recorded. Given the clean history, the primary goal is to ensure no hidden corrosion exists on the chassis that the tester deemed negligible.
