2017 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · AA17 MCK

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 41,530 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across every annual examination since 2022. The mileage pattern confirms very light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 16,523 miles at the 17 March 2022 test, rising to 27,370 miles by 24 March 2023, then 30,855 miles on 23 March 2024, 37,376 miles on 21 March 2025, and 41,530 miles in March 2026. Annual accumulation stayed between roughly 4,000 and 6,900 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Such low yearly totals suggest gentle commuting rather than sustained motorway load, though prolonged standing between short trips can allow corrosion and perished rubber to develop unseen. No advisories or defects appear in any entry, so the history gives no flag for worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, cracked coil springs, or structural rust. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and brake lines, as the DVSA test does not strip panels. Check tyre sidewalls for crazing from age, and confirm brake discs are free of lip and pitting after low-use winters. The clean sheet across five consecutive tests implies the previous keepers addressed issues before each deadline rather than running faults to failure. Given the car's standing time relative to mileage, a pre-purchase check of coolant condition and handbrake function remains sensible even with this spotless record.
