2006 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AD06 XAC

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 21 July 2025 at 128,800 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The tester recorded no defects at that test. Prior to the pass, the vehicle failed on 18 July 2025 at the same mileage with no defects listed, a pattern repeated on 12 July 2024 when a fail preceded a pass on the same day at 125,792 miles. These administrative failures with zero recorded faults suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defect trends. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,440 miles per year against the 2006 build date, with the odometer climbing from 122,770 miles at the 7 July 2023 test to 125,792 miles in July 2024 and 128,800 miles by July 2025. The 3,000-mile yearly increments confirm light, consistent use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean record across all five entries shows no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, implying the previous owner kept basic consumables within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition despite the absent advisories, as a 20-year-old Renault of this era is prone to subframe rust and degraded coil springs not always caught in a pass. The twin fail-pass cycles on identical dates and mileages warrant confirmation that no binding calipers or hidden fluid leaks were masked by a quick retest. Verify the V5C and test centre notes for the 2024 and 2025 failures, since no defects were logged yet the vehicle was rejected twice.
