2005 Renault Clio 2.0L Petrol · AC03 EGG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 114,714 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the car presented no defects during its most recent inspection. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the most recent consecutive passes suggest that the previous owner has addressed the necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back up to legal standards. At 114,714 miles over 21 years, this Clio averages approximately 5,463 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The data reveals a notable period of inactivity between August 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered only eight miles in over a year. However, the accumulation of 8,530 miles between April 2025 and March 2026 shows a recent shift toward more regular use. Such low-mileage usage patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion due to lack of mechanical movement. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as older Renaults of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2024, specific attention should be paid to the condition of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs. Checking the brakes for signs of binding calipers or perished fluid is also essential, especially since the vehicle is now being driven more frequently after a long period of standing.
