2008 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · VU08 BUA

The most recent MOT on 13 June 2024 recorded a pass at 88,277 miles, indicating the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at the time of testing. The earlier fail recorded on the same day, also at 88,275 miles, listed no defects, suggesting an administrative re‑test rather than a substantive issue. Across the four entries from 2022 to 2024 the car has consistently passed, showing a stable maintenance trend with no recurring faults identified. At 88,277 miles the 2008 Renault Clio averages roughly 4,900 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a vehicle of its age. Mileage rose from 78,057 miles in May 2022 to 82,638 miles in June 2023, then to the current figure in June 2024, reflecting steady, moderate use without any abrupt spikes that might signal intensive short‑term driving. The sparse record contains no gaps, and the absence of recorded defects aligns with the low‑mileage profile, implying that major components have not been subjected to excessive wear. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of consumable items that the MOT does not capture in detail. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as low mileage does not guarantee recent replacement. Examine brake pads and discs for wear or glazing, and check that the calipers move freely without binding. Probe the suspension for worn bushes or degraded coil springs, especially given the vehicle’s age, and look for any surface rust or corrosion on the chassis that may have developed during periods of inactivity. A thorough visual and functional assessment of these areas will confirm whether the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical soundness or merely the absence of recorded failures.
