2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AE14 SZZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on September 2, 2025 at 71,954 miles. While the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day, the lack of recorded advisories in the final two tests suggests that any identified faults were rectified prior to the inspections. The maintenance history does not indicate a worsening mechanical trend or structural decay, as the vehicle remained compliant through the latest testing cycles. At a recorded mileage of 71,954 miles over twelve years, this Clio has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per annum. This is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting light usage of the engine and drivetrain components. The interval between March 2024 and March 2025 shows an accumulation of 4,320 miles, which remains consistent with this low-usage profile. However, low mileage on older vehicles can sometimes mask age-related degradation, such as perished rubber seals, dry bushings, or corrosion on brake components if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rubber components and suspension assembly. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished control arm bushes and cracked tyre boots that do not trigger failures until significant. Since the MOT record shows no specific mechanical issues like binding calipers or worn springs, a manual check for uneven tyre wear or pitting on brake discs is necessary. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity of the sills and exhaust mounting to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in undetected corrosion due to lack of regular airflow.
