2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SM11 AAZ

This Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 April 2025 at 76,503 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently well-maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 5,100 miles per year. Usage has remained steady in recent years, with the odometer moving from 66,953 miles in April 2023 to 76,503 miles by April 2025. A significant gap exists between the August 2021 test at 58,028 miles and the April 2023 test, which may indicate a period of lower activity or a change in ownership. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. The only failure occurred on 25 April 2023 at 66,950 miles, though the record shows no specific defects were listed for that failure, and the car passed the following day. This suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre cracking, or seized brake calipers. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of the underbody condition. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and cambelt have been changed according to manufacturer intervals rather than just mileage.
