2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · WJ10 AEU

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy on its most recent test, passing cleanly on 10 May 2025 at 147,303 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two anomalous failures on 4 May 2023 and 7 May 2024 at 126,791 and 139,131 miles respectively, both followed by immediate passes on the next day with no defects logged. These back-to-back fail-pass pairs suggest administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults, as no advisories or defects were ever cited. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2010 vehicle, rising from 126,791 miles in May 2023 to 139,131 in May 2024 and 147,303 by May 2025, an average of roughly 9,200 miles per year. The record shows no gaps or sudden jumps in annual use, and the clean test outcomes at each interval indicate the previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard without letting consumables or structure degrade to advisory level. Sparse defect data limits deep wear analysis, but the consistent pass pattern implies steady, undemanding service. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's sixteen-year age and 147,000 miles, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close visual checks, since the tester recorded no rust findings yet annual mileage and winter exposure can hide progressive decay between tests. Verify the 2023 and 2024 fail-pass anomalies with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data before purchase.
