RENAULT CLIO2011 · 1.1L Petrol

The Renault Clio presents a current roadworthy status following the September 2025 test at 59,750 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. However, the record shows a failed test on 20 September 2025 at 59,711 miles and a further fail on 14 September 2023 at 49,700 miles, both with no defects noted alongside passes on the same dates. This pairing of fail and pass entries without recorded faults suggests procedural anomalies rather than worsening condition. Odometer readings advanced from 49,700 miles at the September 2023 examination to 55,042 by September 2024, then to 59,750 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,300 and 4,700 miles per annual interval, consistent with the low lifetime average of about 3,983 miles per year for a 15-year-old vehicle. The sparse, clean ledger implies careful or limited use, though such low distance combined with age can allow rubber seals, tyres, and suspension bushes to degrade through time rather than wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and consumable components. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or binding calipers, but a 2011 Clio may harbour hidden rust on sills or weakened coil springs. Verify the reason for the two anomaly fails via DVSA records, and examine brake discs, suspension arms, and tyre sidewalls for age cracking. Previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing, yet the absence of advisories does not negate the need for an independent mechanical assessment before purchase.
