2010 RENAULT CLIO1.5L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-03-14 at 116,498 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the absence of subsequent tests since 2022-03-14 raises concerns. The MOT history shows inconsistent outcomes in early 2022, with a fail and pass on the same date at identical mileage, suggesting potential administrative errors or unresolved issues. No structural, braking, or suspension defects were noted in the record, but the prolonged gap between tests—over four years—limits confidence in its current roadworthiness. The mileage progression reveals irregularities. From 2021-02-11 (114,900 miles) to 2022-03-14 (116,498 miles), the vehicle gained 1,598 miles over 13 months, aligning with average annual usage. However, a 2022-01-28 fail at 16,487 miles—over 100,000 miles lower—implies possible data entry errors or extended periods of inactivity. The 2021-02-10 fail at 114,900 miles, coinciding with the 2021-02-11 pass, suggests repeated testing without recorded faults, which may indicate minor issues resolved between assessments. A buyer should prioritise a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to potential corrosion or wear from infrequent use. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may have developed during periods of inactivity. The lack of detailed defect reports in the MOT history underscores the need for a professional assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and safety compliance.
