2007 RENAULT CLIO1.1L Petrol

The latest MOT, completed on 22 May 2024 at 77,503 miles, is a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded. Across the entire record, every test has ultimately ended in a pass, and no component has ever been flagged as a monitor or repair item. The two failures, one on 23 May 2022 and one on 30 May 2023, were both rectified and re-tested on the same day, which points to minor, quickly resolved issues rather than any underlying mechanical weakness. The maintenance trend is stable and, based on the official record, this 2007 Clio has presented as genuinely roadworthy at each inspection. The mileage pattern supports that impression of steady, light use. The annual accumulation sits at roughly 4,079 miles per year, and the recorded figures rise consistently: 75,885 miles in May 2022, 76,880 in May 2023, and 77,503 in May 2024. That is only around 600 to 1,000 miles between each annual test, which suggests short, regular journeys or a vehicle that is not used as a primary daily driver. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in recorded mileage, and the progression is linear with no evidence of clocking or long periods of abandonment. Because the DVSA record contains no advisories whatsoever, a buyer is left with little diagnostic information about wear that has not yet reached reporting thresholds. A 19-year-old Clio at this mileage should still be inspected in person for age-related deterioration that an MOT at low annual mileage can easily mask. Pay particular attention to the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as rubber components perish with age even when mileage is low, and to any corrosion on sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for binding or lipping, since light use on short runs tends to accelerate surface rust and uneven pad wear. The MOT history is clean and gives no cause for concern, but it is a history of annual low-mileage checks, not a guarantee against the effects of time.
