2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · NV60 AEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 26 February 2024 at 112,059 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2019, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in testing between July 2019 and January 2022, during which the odometer rose from 86,715 to 98,487 miles. This indicates a period of lower usage or a lapse in regular testing. The mileage increased more rapidly between March 2023 and February 2024, adding nearly 11,000 miles in under a year, which suggests a change in the vehicle's usage pattern. The lack of recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a sixteen year old car and may indicate a lenient testing regime or an exceptionally well-kept chassis. A buyer should specifically inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components typically degrade regardless of MOT outcomes. Given the age of the car, a physical check of the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for perishing is necessary. The record shows a failure on 19 January 2022 followed by a pass three days later, though the specific defect is not listed. Verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements is essential, as the MOT record does not track these critical engine maintenance items.
