RENAULT CLIO2014 · 1.1L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-23 at 54,907 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failure with no recorded issues, indicating potential data inconsistency. Previous tests in 2025 and 2024 showed consistent passing with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance record. However, the repeated failures at identical mileages raise questions about the accuracy of the MOT entries or potential unresolved issues. The lack of defect details in all tests limits definitive conclusions about mechanical health. The vehicle’s mileage of 54,907 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 4,576 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation, increasing risks of component degradation such as dry-rotted rubber parts, corrosion, or battery issues. The MOT tests are spaced consistently every 12 months, with no gaps exceeding 14 months, indicating regular maintenance. However, the absence of mileage increases between 2024-03-25 (47,552 miles) and 2025-03-27 (52,218 miles) suggests a 4,666-mile jump, which may reflect either a data entry error or extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle was stored for long periods. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, as stagnant usage increases corrosion risks. No specific defects were recorded, but the MOT history’s ambiguity underscores the need for a pre-purchase inspection to verify the vehicle’s actual condition beyond the recorded data.
