2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SL10 ABA

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 January 2026 at 158,486 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While the vehicle failed a test in January 2025, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests that any identified faults were rectified promptly by the owner, demonstrating a proactive approach to resolving mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a sixteen-year-old light vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 5,660 miles, followed by a further 19,783 miles recorded between February 2024 and January 2026. This steady usage suggests regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals and brake components, preventing the degradation of rubber parts often seen in low-mileage vehicles. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests, a buyer should focus on high-wear areas typical of a Renault Clio of this age and mileage. Physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these often perish after 150,000 miles. The buyer should also manually check for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as the MOT test only identifies rust once it reaches a failing threshold. Testing the brake discs for excessive thinning or deep pitting will also reveal an imminent need for replacement despite the clean test record.
