RENAULT CLIO1994 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle currently lacks a valid roadworthiness status as the last recorded MOT test is over eleven years old. The final inspection conducted in April 2015 at 61,560 miles resulted in a significant failure due to broken front coil springs and an exhaust leak. Given the lack of any testing since 2015, the maintenance trend cannot be verified, and the vehicle has likely sat stationary or operated off-road for a decade without a comprehensive safety check. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 32-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. The record shows a slow progression from 47,566 miles in 2011 to 61,560 miles in 2015. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests often indicate the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and seals. The absence of data for the last decade suggests the car has not been regularly monitored for road use. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Previous tests highlighted a persistent trend of corrosion on the front sub-frame, lower suspension arms, and brake pipes. The buyer should verify if these areas of rust have progressed into structural failure during the long period of inactivity. Additionally, the Macpherson strut mounts were previously flagged for movement, and all brake lines and rubber bushings must be checked for cracking or perish rot.
