2017 Renault Clio 1.2L Petrol · AF17 VNA

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following a pass at the March 2026 test, recorded at 17,973 miles with no defects noted. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year MOT span, with no advisories or recurring mechanical faults logged by testers. A single failure on 4 March 2026 at 17,971 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, and the vehicle passed cleanly the next day. Annual mileage sits at roughly 1,997 miles per year against the car's 2017 build, a low-use profile for a nine-year-old hatchback. The records trace a gentle climb: 14,951 miles in April 2023, 16,639 in March 2024, 17,624 in March 2025, and 17,973 by March 2026. Only 349 miles accumulated in the latest twelve months. Such low figures with clean tests suggest the car spent long periods stationary, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still inspect the Clio in person for age-related degradation not captured by the MOT. Standing time promotes tyre sidewall cracking, flat spots, and seized brake calipers despite the clean brake result. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for stiffness or fracturing, and examine subframes and sills for structural rust given the vehicle's low but ageing profile. The absence of advisories across all tests implies previous owners addressed wear before each examination or simply drove little. Verify service history to confirm fluid changes and cam-belt intervals, as low mileage does not suspend time-based maintenance on a 1.2-litre Renault unit.
