RENAULT CLIO2003 · 1.1L PETROL

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by a complete lack of recent data for the past twelve years. The last recorded test in August 2014 at 71,874 miles shows a pass following a major failure involving engine emissions, suspension ball joints, and lighting. Because there are no MOT entries since June 2014, the current roadworthiness of the car cannot be verified. The trend suggests a vehicle that has sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to rubber degradation despite low mechanical mileage. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,125 miles per year. Between August 2012 at 61,023 miles and August 2014 at 71,874 miles, the car covered 10,851 miles over two years. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the presence of a cracking tyre and an incomplete coil spring noted in 2012 indicates that the vehicle was suffering from age andrelated exposure rather than distance traveled. A physical inspection must focus on the effects of long-term storage. The MOT history highlights recurring issues with anti-roll bar rubbers and suspension bushes, which likely perished during the years of inactivity. The buyer should check for significant oil leaks noted in 2014 to see if they have worsened or worsened. Given the previous failure for excessive carbon monoxide emissions, the engine's fuel system and seals require a thorough check to ensure they have not fouled or degraded from sitting.
