1995 Renault Clio 2.0L Petrol · M678 EGJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 117,423 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a clean result in the previous year. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying minor issues before they escalate, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record across the last two successful annual cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,788 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage with exactly 2,000 miles recorded between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 1,000 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between drives can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the absorption of moisture in brake lines. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension. Given the age, the 1995 Clio is prone to corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and rear strut mounting points which may not always be flagged until they become significant. Check for perished suspension bushes and cracked rubber boots, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age rather than mechanical fatigue. The recorded failures in 2023 and 2025 without listed defects suggest minor administrative or minor bulb/lamp issues that were immediately addressed, but the buyer should re-evaluate the condition of the brake discs and tyres for cracking resulting from periods of standing.
