2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · NL65 AEA

This Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 40,217 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed on the same day and previously on 18 August 2023, the lack of recorded defects for those failures suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly during the test. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,656 miles per year. The distance covered between August 2023 and August 2025 was 4,952 miles, confirming a consistent pattern of light usage. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to issues with perished rubber seals or battery degradation if the car spent long periods stationary. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories for brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion over the last three years. This suggests a high standard of maintenance or very gentle use. A buyer should still physically inspect the tyres and brake pads for age-related cracking or surface oxidation, as components on low-mileage cars often fail due to time rather than wear. Check for any signs of chassis corrosion or leaking shock absorbers during a physical inspection. While the DVSA records show no structural failures, the absence of any flagged consumables over several years is rare. Verifying the service history against these clean MOT results will confirm if the owner followed a strict maintenance schedule or simply benefited from the vehicle's low usage.
