RENAULT CLIO2008 · 1.1L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 111,174 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories across the last three testing cycles suggests a vehicle that is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without lingering mechanical concerns. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,176 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of distance, moving from 100,920 miles in January 2024 to 111,174 miles by February 2026. This indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and prevents brake calipers from seizing. The MOT record is unusually clean for an 18 year old vehicle, showing no recorded defects or advisories since January 2024. While the failures on 16 February 2026 and 30 January 2025 were resolved immediately, the lack of specific defect data in the record is atypical. A buyer should personally inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust is common on this model but not always captured in brief summaries. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue. You should also check the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns, as these consumables often wear out between test intervals without triggering a failure. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these are critical maintenance items not covered by an MOT test.
