2004 RENAULT CLIO DYNAMIQUE 16V1.1L Other

The 2004 Renault Clio Dynamique 16V shows a currently roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 30 October 2023 at 108,165 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recent record, as the last two annual tests returned no defects and no advisories. Prior to this stable period, the vehicle failed twice in quick succession during 2021 and 2022, but those failures carried no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The odometer reads 108,165 miles against an age of nearly 22 years, equating to a low average of roughly 4,917 miles per year. The record shows gentle accumulation: 98,575 miles on 4 August 2021, rising to 102,832 by 7 September 2022, then 108,165 by October 2023. Such low yearly use implies the car spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that often masks perished rubber components and corrosion while leaving consumables like brake discs and tyres underused but aged. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history offers no advisory detail to confirm freedom from rust on a vehicle of this age. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system warrant physical checks for age-related degradation that low mileage will not prevent. The twin failures on 4 August 2021 and 25 August 2022 with zero defects logged point to no recurring mechanical trend, yet the absence of advisories across passes means worn brake calipers or tired tyres could exist undetected. Verify the braking balance and tyre condition before purchase, given the car's long dormant intervals between use.
