2007 RENAULT CLIO1.5L Diesel

The 2007 Renault Clio demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2026-03-12 at 141,201 miles, which passed with no defects. However, the preceding test on 2026-03-11 at the same mileage failed despite no recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or procedural inconsistency. Subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent passing results with no defects, indicating a reliable maintenance record. The vehicle’s mechanical condition appears stable, with no recurring issues flagged in the history. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,432 miles annually. Notable jumps include 18,618 miles added between 2025-03-13 (122,581 miles) and 2026-03-12 (141,201 miles), reflecting a sharp increase in annual usage. This could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems, though no such issues were recorded. The MOT history lacks gaps, suggesting regular servicing, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear trends. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for leaks or rust, as older vehicles often develop these issues. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust, particularly in body panels and undercarriage, as the car’s age and mileage increase vulnerability. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the recent mileage surge and procedural test anomaly justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
